The world is such a cruel place
, we need more people like you, or at least more people with this mindset ╥﹏╥
I’m lucky to live in a family where that doesn’t matter. But we’re very aware that isn’t case all over and that’s makes our family all the more precious
Anyone living in a place where people don’t have to fear being openly attacked or killed for being gay is lucky, forget family disowning them. It’s so horrible and senseless what people do to others because of who they love
I think most parents like that only cut them off to pressure them into "walking the right path" at first, but when their kid holds on their ego prevents them to surrender. That or they care more about their image than their own child.
it's often the 2nd one. my asians parents always go on and on about me making good decisions that would bolster their reputation. they even say that if a child's suicidal, the child definitely doesn't love their parents bc their parents' reputation would be tarnished with a child who takes their own life. getting them used to the concept of queerness so they wouldn't disown me when i come out is a long, terrible process. it's fucked that familial love is conditional, but what can i do about it lmao
i’m a deeply religious person, or at least i try to be (muslim) but i could never imagine cutting my child off over something as small as sexuality preference. a human being that came out of your womb, you’re willing to toss to the side bc he wants to kiss a boy? i cannot comprehend that mentality tbh.
