alternative lifestyle

This is not the future I expected, back in the 20th century. Yes, I thought I might have an alternative lifestyle that my mother would disapprove of. But I didn't expect she'd disapprove of my getting vaccinated against contagious diseases. Or getting part of my electricity from wind and solar.

She doesn't understand about being bisexual and polyamorous, but she is ok with "these wonderful people are very important to me, and I am living with them now." I don't expect her to object to my rainbow-striped airgami because of the rainbow stripes. She just thinks it's dangerous to wear any mask and I should stop.
