I just want to give a creepy internet hug to both those who calls come out and disowned by parents/family. My parents have put me down from the day I came out, telling me in great detail how they wish they'd had an abortion since I turned out a lesbian. They attempt to talk to me to make them seem like great parents, but refuse to accept my girlfriend as my girlfriend after 2 and a half years. Its a hurt that will never go again, but in the end for everyone with similar family members, it will hurt them that they cut off their own blood. At this point I won't we even be telling my parents when we get married because they don't support it anyway. I'm so glad I have my girlfriend's parents, they care about me more than my biological parents!

This is awful! I'm so sorry. I feel for the LGBTQers we have here. I started this discussion because part of me really does feel Bryan is gay, not because he likes unicorn frapps, or "Mean Girls," but because there is something about him that just doesn't feel genuine (and I do believe the Craigslist thing). He seems almost lost. Plus Missy's comments about him being a beast, and Nancy's very pro-LGBT stance (I've lurked her FB for awhile) and the divide between them. When I said I'd like him more, I meant it. If he realized that their current dynamic sucked and had to change, moves out (even if it was to a separate suite on the property) and started living a genuine life, I'd have mad respect for him. We all know Bryan is a poser, and how sad would it be for him to be trying to "pray away the gay" all this time just to keep his surrogate family, only for his wife to constantly dismiss him anyway. Pretty sad if you ask me.
I hope those of you that are still in the closet find peace. There are more accepting communities out there, where not everyone is an asshole. Here in Canada gay marriage has been legal for over 10 years, and its no big deal. My 80 year old grandmother found out a good family friend is transitioning (F to M) and her response was "good for him!" My 9 year old likes unicorn frapps, pink shirts, Bath and Body Works, musicals, etc, so far he likes a little girl in his class too, but you never know. He's free to be who he is, and it seems to be the same for his peers. Progress is being made in so much of North America, it just sucks that the more religious communities are hanging on so hard to their bigoted and narrow world views. Sorry for those of you having to choose between family and being true to yourself. I can't imagine....
