That's sad about that side of the family not excepting your sister. I don't understand this sort of thing. It's a personal choice and if that's what she likes then so be it! I have a friend that went through that with her family and one side is fine with it and one is very upset. I hope your sister doesn't let this get her down.

comming from a family who feels that Videogames are the spawn of satan, I still can't begin to understand what she's going through. It's terrible that there are such intollerent people still in this world.

It's good that she still has you jeepy. I can't imagine the alienation she must feel from the family.

Your sister may not have seemed interesting, BUT she may have been really nervous. Re: your other sister, it's tough, I can't imagine

I'm sorry your family is behaving that way towards your sister.

My sister and I had a lot of the same issues with our family when they found out that we are both actively bi and that my sister was in a poly relationship....but we just wouldn't allow them to do that crap to us....me so more than her. She was willing to accept their bigotry in that regard, I wasn't. Took them a while to get over it, but they did, I just kept showing up and forcing them to face me, lol.

I really hope that your family chooses to understand her and get over their bigotry about it. Family is family, no matter what...sometimes they forget that though.

That sucks that your family is unaccepting of your sister and her life choice. But at least she has you and I guess the other side of the family

Jesus Jeep when you throw a family get together you really know how to do it up right.

In my family we usually try to keep the coming out, revelations of interracial love, adultery, youthful indiscretions, felony arrests and tail removal at a one at a time pace. I guess doing it all at once might be more fun at that.

Family sucks, but you only get one. I learned a long time ago as long as I didn't write anyone off there was always the chance that they might one day surprise. The Grand uncle that called my wife a Kike at our wedding just passed away and it turns out his kids knew it might have been rude. Anyone that ever has told me they would "pray for me" I just keep praying for.

Good luck trying to lead your family down the road of enlightenment. If you pass me going the other way occasionally slap me in the head and set me straight would you?

did she not know what kind of people they were? If she had of known that she would have been able to judge the reaction.

Really sucks though....

Sorry to hear how blind your family is, Jeep.
I am from Appalachia myself, and my parents are what I consider conservative Baptists. My sister's best friend from HS is lesbian, with a girlfriend that meets the butch stereotype very well. My mom has no problem welcoming them to the house when they are in town and treats them just like any other family. In that regard we are lucky.

And isn't it ironic that the same people who condemn your sister think it is fine for one of their own to be an adulterer (isn't that one of the big 10?). Either that or your sister will be welcomed back to the family in 42 years.

I never quite understand how "people of faith" can be so cruel to others regardless of their beliefs/sexuality. If you're a person of faith you should be able to accept anyone. Hate the sin, love the sinner I have been told before.

That being said....lesbians rock!!!

.....As long as they're both hot.
