Set this baby up in a corner.

[Scelly9]

Or, you know. Just control it wirelessly?

[Scelly9]

I was under the impression that it was covered while he was at home/away from work.

[kaijyuu]

Yeah it was. I come in during the latter half of the day, since that's when the most customers show up. So far the vandalism has been in the mornings.

[Thecard]

Go in the mornings.  Stake it out, if you really want to know.  That's a guaranteed confrontation, but it may not be a really good idea.

connected to a tripwire that goes over the poster.
someone puts something over the poster/pull it off, tripwire breaks, and their arse gets riddled with high-velocity paint.

who knew balls up the bum could be so useful for protecting LGBT posters?

Clearly, the paint must be all the colors of the rainbow.

I'm actually kind of surprised by your mother's reaction. My mother took it quite well, suggesting that I be even more careful with STDs if I have a same sex relationship. Still, I think she saw it coming. I haven't been dating since... well... ever and I tend to not notice ladies hitting on me usually. I'm kind of blind when it comes to people hitting on me.

I'm sure your family will come to accept it, but it'll take time if religion is involved. You may just have to wait it out to get acceptance.

Well, I can't say much here except to offer support and that I hope it all works out. Good luck, Kai!

About your parent's avoiding talking about it, I need to ask if this is perhaps just the way they "deal" with things? I mean, my parents never talked about anything, regardless of importance, if it had the chance of being slightly awkward. Some people just aren't able to do things like that. Were they "confrontative" with you about things in the past?

[kaijyuu]

Err... yes and no. My mother always lets her disappointment be known. My father just bottles everything up and never gets into any confrontation he can avoid.

So yeah, their behavior isn't unprecedented, but I don't think it healthy. I don't want to argue; I want to talk. I feel if I'm going to have a good relationship with my parents, both for this and for anything in the future, they need to feel that they can discuss anything with me (and I anything with them). I don't want secrets anymore. I don't want hidden emotions. I want open lines of communication.


EDIT: Just got to work, poster disappeared. 3rd one is now up.

I'm ruffling someone's feathers. I just hope they'll talk to me instead of this passive nonsense.

[Jervill]

How many backup posters do you have?  You may need to print out more.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

He is the secretary. I doubt there will be much chance of running out of printers.

[Thecard]

once you find them, paste their walls (and them) with the posters.

No, pushing it in their face is on the same level as tearing it down.  But definitely do confront them.  Just don't make them hate you, make them see you for what you are, a reasonable human being.

I agree completely, with this and the rest of the post. I just wanted to know for my evaluation of their behaviour. I hope they'll open up sooner or later. Weirdly enough, though correct me if the impressions I've gotten from the thread is wrong, hasn't your father been the most open with you this time?

Yes, he has. He's actually said something besides empty "I love yous" and vocal disappointment, unlike my mother.
