Grandfather Writes Letter To His Daughter After She Kicks Out His Gay Grandson

[Swede Atlanta]

52. Agree, this could be manufactured BUT

it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

I have a female friend whose sister threw her teenage son out of the house when he came out to her. She is a born-again Christian (so she claims) and says that he is going to hell.

My friend, his aunt, took him into her home. She is disabled after a drunk driver hit and paralyzed her. She lives on very limited income but she took him into her home. She did the best she could on very little money. But what she couldn't provide in games and clothes and fancy things, she gave him in unconditional love.

He is now in his late 20s. He graduated with honors from a state university and is now working on a master's degree. He has a good job making about $50K a year.

He is living with his partner and they are very close to my friend. They plan to marry in New York next summer. They live about 2 hours away from my friend but drive there once a month to clean, do laundry, chores, etc. for her and they pay her rent every month.

She will be front and center at their wedding. He hasn't had any contact with his biological mother since she kicked him out of the house and she will not be invited. His father's whereabouts are unknown.

I ask you which of these two sisters was following the Bible (whether you believe it or not)? It wasn't the evil sister who threw her son out because he was born gay. It was the other sister who, despite her own physical and financial challenges, took him into her home.

As a Christian and a gay man I don't understand these people. I try to forgive them as I should but somehow I just can't. It is a failing on my part but I can't forgive a parent who discards their own flesh and blood because of who they are, who God created them to be.
