I'm being brought up to disown gay/bi/trans people and think they are disguisting and dishonouring God, but I have a gay cousin and gay friend and I love them to bits. I cant even go to my cousins wedding bc he is marrying a man.

| No, I dont accept gays at all! | 18 |
Trust your own feelings. You have your own voice and thoughts, you are not your parents, you share the same dna but you are your own person.
talk to your family about it. if your cousin's getting married, and he's gay, obviously not all of your family is against it.
Eh, fuck ‘em. Once you’re old enough I’d cut ties; I wouldn’t want that in my family.
Then again I’m gay so, of course I’m bias.
That sucks like Irishpotato said above at least let them know you wanted to be there.
If your current situation is that you have no option but to live with homophobic religious nuts, then I guess you just have to accept that. If you find this situation very difficult to deal with - and I know I would - then the best thing you can do is try to work towards getting away as soon as you can. It may be necessary for you to bite your tongue and listen to the BS in silence in order to maintain some degree of domestic tranquillity. My experience is that it's impossible to persuade religious whack-jobs that they're wrong, so there's no point in even trying. Maybe they'll see sense someday, but it's not your job to try to make that happen.
Send your cousin a nice card and say you're sorry you can't be with them on their special day. As a relative, he's probably well aware of the situation, and he won't blame you.
If you agree with how you're being brought up then agree with it, but if not then don't. Its as simple as that. Stand up for what you believe in.
not gonna lie i was a bit confused by the choices. was i supposed to choose no i dont accept the parents or no i dont accept the queers???
I acept this kind of people IF, and only IF, they are respectful. My aunt is lesbian, and she lives with another woman, and they are respectful people and workers. The queers and LGBT associated people are so disrespectful to other people opinions and beliefs that i only want distancie from them
