Others still have their parents in their lives, but the parents' homophobia harms their relationships with their queer kids. For example, some parents insist that their children stay in the closet to the rest of the family. Or they treat their straight children's significant others as legit relationships while ignoring their gay children's partners.
A lot of religious groups call themselves "pro-family." But there's nothing pro-family about homophobia, transphobia, or any other anti-LGBTQIA bias. It rips up families.
To truly promote loving and cohesive families, we need to accept all people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.
