    Been a while since I've been on here and it's nice to see the LGBT topics still burn the brightest.

    The Ali Forney Centre support LGBT kids who are rejected by their religious parents and these videos will no doubt mirror the sad experiences of some of us gay JWs.

    some people feel they have a right to sit in judgement of others - and even in matters that they really do not understand. i would think that a parent's natural love for his/her offspring would be unconditional, but time after time sadly you see this is not the case. parental rejection is a heavy burden to bear, but sometimes you just have to accept it for what it is and distance yourself. it is your life, not theirs.

    i do think in some cases, the perceived evils of homosexuality are so drummed into people that they feel some level of guilt if a child is not heterosexual, and that adds to the mix - being a motivating factor in their displeasure/disassociation.....

    (didn't watch the videos - just my thoughts on the topic....)
