I'm from a LDS family. Im gay and the rest of the family is very active in church - I have 7 brothers and sister and parents that have never divorced.

I have found that the older siblings have a harder time with it than my younger sisters. My younger sisters all have gay friends. My older brothers and sisters all have families and little time for friends outside of Church. They have all had different life experiences and those experiences outweigh anything the church say - whether the church sees that at all is another issue.

My parents, while we do not talk about it, I feel my father does better with it than my mom. But, they are all supportive of me as a person and my partner. He is always welcome to every family event and my parents even put us in the same bed when we visit.
