Can’t look at it this so black and white, different generations mentality and all (not that it is right, obviously). That being said, my grandmother didn’t talk to me for a year when I brought a black boy home. She was always kind to me otherwise and I wish I could go back and save her the heart ache in her later years. I feel like I added to her anxiety that she inherited that wasn’t truly her fault. Italians in the old country were told all kinds of nonsense and superstitions to keep them afraid of anything unfamiliar. The only bad thing about her were the stigmas she latched onto that she was shown as a child. Now if this rich guy is an asshole as well as a homophobe, I say fucked it, tell him and wish that charity well that gets that money. If he’s a good person and the only bad thing about him is some outdated thinking that was drilled into him as a child then, I say let sleep dogs lie. We need more information about this man before we out and out attack him simply because he is from such an old generation. The real question is, if the money didn’t exist would this be an issue at all?
I would do it. Then donate some of it to multiple LQBTQ+ charities. The rest would go into my writing, which will be filled with queer characters. Maybe name one after my grandfather.
