What's so sad is that is what happened to a grandma of mine. I had come out of the closet (she supported me 100%) and she spoke about it to her church friends and talking about how much she's learned in supporting me. Well, I guess one of those friends didn't share the same beliefs. And the pastor met with her and my grandpa and said that they were no longer welcome at the church. The church they've both attended since they were children.

Thankfully they're fine and don't rely on the church. But it, again, reiterates how much so much of it is viewed as a moral failure. And how much our nation loves punishment more than we love support.
