My husband’s family is like this. They’re forever saying comments and making jokes about gays. It’s disgusting. They don’t like black people either and make comments. My MIL still calls black people “Coloreds”! They’re “good Christians” though. Puulllease. I can only imagine that if any of their grandkids come out, they’ll freak. I hope that if anyone in his family is gay, they’ll have the courage to be themselves in spite of the rest of the family. But with that kind of hatred and intolerance, I doubt it. :(
Fortunately, my husband is nothing like them. We have many gay & lesbian friends and our friends come in all colors, shapes, & religions. Actually we really have no close “Christian” friends come to think of it. We have Jewish friends, Jehovah’s Witness friends, Catholic friends, and some who are like us and believe in God, but not all the church crap that goes with it.
I think my MIL cried at our wedding. Hubby’s best man was black and his groomsman was a Jehovah’s Witness! :p My best friend and Maid of Honor is an Athiest! LOL
OMG - sounds like my In-Laws. They are "born-again" and they are broke, but they won't rent their "income-producing extra house" to "people of colour". I have a hard time reconciling how people whoi are so "religious / christian" can be so predjudiced / racist at the same time. They are the same way with gay guys etc... (Of course they don't think much of me either. but I stopped worrying about THAT years ago!!!)
I haven't been inside a church for YEARS, and quite frankly people like them put me off!!
