Debate? There was no debate.



Yes, that was my situation.



It was a blow to my family to find out he was in the gay porn industry. It pushed some over the edge when they found out that he is gay. It was too much to handle.


He was in gay porn and at the time you stated he wasn't gay.


Not sure about the surprise that it walks like a duck and talks like a duck... That being said. That shouldn't be a surprise.

It is unfortunate that you alllow his lifestyle to come in between your family. It is more pathetic. You can love a family member without protesting his preferences.

Does he even want to repair the relationship with you and the family?

I can't believe this is happening to you oh my god, a gay nephew, what is the world coming to??? I can't think of anything more tragic in the entire world. I'm just so shocked hmmmm, thank god something unimportant is not happening to your family like, ummmm, untreatable cancer or a violent crime, or let's see living out on the street with no money or job or food to eat, or even a nephew commiting suicide because his whole family has shunned him

How is he "tearing the family apart"

I accept him. I don't accept his choices.

We aren't against him. We are against his actions.
Your posts and reported actions state otherwise.

I'm sure he doesn't really care for semantics at this point. The way you and your family are reacting will never help him leave porn industry, you are only pushing him more and more to continue. It's a really sad situation.

And by the way, laying in bed for a day and a half because he admitted to be homosexual is really not accepting HIM for who he is and not his actions, because gay is who HE IS and not what he does.

So are you against the fact that he's gay or the fact that he's in the gay adult industry?

I'll give you pass for not liking him being in the adult industry, because I wouldn't like my straight sister being in it myself. But if you are against him, because you think he choose to "be gay", I can't accept that...

Exactly my point. It seems the worst part in all of this is that they are upset he is gay. Well hello, if he is doing gay porn.

That was the crux of the original thread a year ago.

And that's what's so pathetic about it.

His sexuality is none of your business. It is not your place to judge him or try to change him. If you can't accept him for who and what he is, dang straight, he is better off without you. That goes double for your mother, who sounds like an unstable, bigoted, psychotic drama queen freak. Hospitalized and a hunger strike because her grandson is gay? If anyone needs fixing, it's your mother. You're not far behind, with your "paralysis" abed. Get help.

Again with the agenda. Personal beliefs aside, what suggestions, if any, do you have for repairing my family.
