It’s very sad. I’m fortunate that it was the opposite for me. Born into a hyper-conservative Catholic family, then when 3 out of 4 of their children wound up LGBTQ, they realized that God might have been telling them something. They’re extremely and refreshingly Christ-like, and total allies. They treat my same-sex fiancé as their full-blown in-law.
One would think the choice would be obvious: Either accept your children for who they are, or accept some right-wing bullcrap and only get to talk with the one kid you didn’t shun from your life.
As a parent it is truly unthinkable how anyone could disown their children over this kind of thing. I literally cannot fathom doing that to the people I love the most in this world.

I wouldn’t call that a contrast honestly. Sounds like a very similar attitude.

Yeah. Fair I guess. We don’t actually know the other person’s parents started out hateful. Perhaps just ignorant. I guess both angles are assumptions.

That’s good, but such a low bar we give them
Seriously. Wow, Christians are capable of loving their children? How inspirational. 🙄
