[quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all. I will post after to let you know if it comes up. I have decided to say something if they raise his absence or making any anti-gay remarks, not in a super confrontational way but just so they are aware that their anti-gay statements have created an estrangement with someone they love. Maybe it won't change their hearts, but maybe at least they will think twice about who they are hurting when they say such things. I, too, agree that it's an example that I need to set for my kids to speak out against prejudice. BTW, my brother has no interest in going to these family gatherings and I can pretty much guarantee he never will, given some of their past statements and FB rants about traditional marriage. The family actually tries to reach out to him -- I know several have told me they have sent him messages, tried to call, sent wedding invitations and he doesn't respond. The organizers of this year's family reunion created a FB group for it and added him, but I noticed that he removed himself from it. I don't know if they get why that might be and so I think it's time I will let them know if they ask.[/quote]
