Warning, the below is not uplifting @ all. Avoid if you don't wanna see it.

Then there's my parents who disowned my younger brother after he came out as male.... They kicked him out of the house and now he's broke and alone trying to scrape by in the world. I'm one of two family members that supports him out of a previously huge family network. I tried to warn him that this would happen but he was convinced that everyone would do a 180 on their deep-rooted political beliefs.

Yeah I’ve been disowned for 9 years. I’m doing well, and I’m definitely the anomaly (most disowning in my experience is like 2-3) but it’s important to remember that not everyone chooses loved ones over bigotry
