It's hard seeing a friend going through this and knowing there's so little you can do. How I envy an acquaintance... when he came out to his mom, she was excited, his dad didn't get mad, and his grandma well, she gave him dresses... haha (he isn't into wearing those though)Seasons ™http://www.blogger.com/profile/11893003642150829365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767464070473675652.post-40193920374908230672008-05-14T08:36:00.000+08:002008-05-14T08:36:00.000+08:00on the one hand, this makes me very angry. i cannot imagine the pain your friend is going through, but we all know rejection of some kind. to be rejected by your family however, is i think the worst rejection.<BR/><BR/>on the other hand, i totally see where the family is coming from. a religious and conservative culture is not easy to shake off. when it is embedded in your system (the belief that homosexuality is a sin and a lifestyle choice), to say that it is difficult to get over with is an understatement. he has to give them time.<BR/><BR/>he is blessed he has support like you guys...i hope he feels a little better soon.<BR/><BR/>hang in there. for him, and for yourself.mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241471277723030930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767464070473675652.post-26623672989657190712008-05-14T00:13:00.000+08:002008-05-14T00:13:00.000+08:00That is a truly painful thing.<BR/><BR/>Of course, bear in mind that your (and your friends) loved ones may come around eventually. Granted, it could be quite a waiting game. It's taken my parents twelve years to get where they've been.<BR/><BR/>I realize that's little comfort for today. But for that, I'm hoping your friendship will be far more valuable than any encouragement I could offer, anyway.seithmanhttp://profile.typekey.com/seithman/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767464070473675652.post-69501969108241748442008-05-13T23:54:00.000+08:002008-05-13T23:54:00.000+08:00what he meant by "his mistake" was that we aren't considered part of the "norms"... at least by our loved-ones :(Rygelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12929204861130334663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767464070473675652.post-84790591903139501532008-05-13T23:21:00.000+08:002008-05-13T23:21:00.000+08:00To think of love as a "mistake" at all is the true tragedy.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with your friend.seithmanhttp://profile.typekey.com/seithman/noreply@blogger.com
