I wish it was an embellishment but sadly it is not. Even his sisters still won’t speak to him. He is from a Serbian background and being gay isn’t accepted there (well at least it wasn’t when I visited Serbia with him 8 years ago). I’m not trying to start arguments or be a shrill, it’s just a topic I’m very sensitive and passionate about as I have seen what it has done to him. My husbands family are very religious and see being gay as evil, committing sin, and every gay person goes to hell etc. And then when I see the headline here that being gay is a choice it really really gets my back up. The church that was around the corner from me when I spent time in Atlanta had a gay pride flag out front and said that god welcomes everyone and this is the kindness I like to see. It brings people together instead of tearing them apart. My friend is very sensitive so I doubt he will be back, I just want you to be mindful that there are a lot of people reading this forum and people can read things differently than you may have intended to come across and can be turned off by a headline like this one. Thanks for clearing up your views on the LG community, I appreciate it.
