Who's LGBTQ and has a Crappy Family?!

[LittleFalcon]

Personally I am Pan and I come from a very sexist family and when I even mention someone of the same sex I get treated like garbage. Who else shares this fate?

My suggestion would be asking in the LGBT thread;

But, me. However, for very different reasons.

I can't relate to that but I can sympathize with you. I know from other threads that you've been going through some rough stuff and would like to offer many hugs.

Thats quite a bit of hugs there.

I can't really offer anything else, so lots of hugs it is. (I'm not great at being encouraging or really interacting socially so hugs are also the safest bet)

I don’t go into morals, religion and beliefs very often.

I had a lifelong friend come out to me. She was scared to death how I’d react. I simply told her that if she is happy, and her partner makes her happy.... that is simply all I could ever ask for.
If your family cannot get on the side of the road that makes you happy, then you need better family. BUT, respect their beliefs too. It’s perfectly acceptable NOT to engage in caustic topics. They should support your happiness, but show them the way.... instead of debating the way.
Lots of love. Everyone needs to be happy.

I can relate wholeheartedly!

Very true, my grandmother especially hates it because her daughter went trans recently, so I now have and Uncle

she is very upset about, though I don't know why its so bad to have a child change genders, I would support my child if they did

I personally agree with your view on that. I know that many older people have some outdated views on how things like that work. They're still living in a time where gender is very conforming and drastically changes who you are, so while I don't agree with the whole 'being upset' part, I can understand why it's happening a bit.
