Reply #82: My heart really aches for my Christian LGBT friends

[IndianaGreen]

In your case, your secular parents probably were angry that they weren't going to become grandparents. Mine did! The only reason I ever got married was because they pressured me to do so. Trying to be a good daughter, I went ahead and married my best friend. It was a lie and a mistake, and I lost my friend, and I pissed everyone off. My parents, the liberals!

Now I don't care what anyone thinks or feels, if they cannot deal with my sexuality, then that's too fucking bad. I am not going to loose any sleep over it and I am not going to waste my time on them.

My heart really aches for my Christian LGBT friends. Many of my LGBT friends are religious and it just mind boggling the gyrations they have to go through in a religious tradition that just hates their guts.

I think this is why I found the documentary Trembling Before G-d about the struggles of Orthodox Jews so moving and poignant.
