Some people simply value their unreasonable beliefs over family ties.
This is another one of those stories.
During this period, the man bonded with his nieces and enjoyed being the cool uncle.
A couple of years after he moved out, he came out as gay.
He told his sister this and she was happy for him.
But she also told her husband, and, well, his reaction was a bit different.
Before coming out, the author and his brother-in-law were bros.
When the news broke, John said he was happy for his bro, but his behavior changed.
Well, it became crystal clear that John was uncomfortable with his brother-in-law being gay.
People bringing up religion, especially Christianity, when it comes to gay people isnt an uncommon experience.
Plus, the matter with passages about homosexuality is kind of complicated.
Fear is a powerful motivator for all sorts of horrendous beliefs.
Apparently, its hard for them to understand such dissonance.
Such rhetoric about hell is just another example of Christian people spreading hate about queer people.
Still, it doesnt stop people from using it.
So, it might be very difficult for this kid to look at their LGBTQ+ relative without judgement.
It also stands to reason why their uncle startedemotionally withdrawing from them it was just too hard for him.
Yet, now felt like a good time.
People online assured him that he shouldnt feel this way.
He didnt cause a fight in his sisters marriage her husbands bigotry did.
Absolute jerk-ish behavior here!
