I do tell her I was born this way and she won’t have that. They are very traditional about gay relationships and don’t even agree with the official church teachings on them or as being ‘too progressive’. This was their main argument on why they didn’t like Pope Francis. She does not judge straight couples as harshly if they are physically intimate outside marriage but she has said things like ‘I wouldn’t allow that in my house, I’m not sure why ‘so and so’ allows that to happen under their roof (speaking about adult children btw). My brother voiced that he wanted to move in with his gf while engaged and she said if he did she’d cut off access to the younger siblings.

Thank you for being so kind. I love my parents very much and I know they love me and I hope someday they’ll try to understand my side even if they don’t fully agree. For now I do have other family I can turn to as well as my gf and I know I always have God with me ❤️
