I think this is the difficulty of OPs predicament that she cannot see from the perspective of a religious person.

OP wants everyone to elevate her daughter’s choices above their understanding of Biblical teachings. And they are saying no, we can’t just nod in agreement with you when you tell us that sinning is good.

And that’s the issue, OP.
You don’t believe that practicing homosexuality is a sin and therefore it isn’t an issue for you to accept your daughter’s ongoing choice to be in a lesbian relationship.

But if you DID believe that the Bible tells us that this is sinful (as your son and his wife and her family clearly believe) then it would be unthinkable for someone to ask you to not only accept that they will be continuing to choose to sin but you also need to embrace and celebrate the sin! It’s kind of a crazy expectation.

Christians believe we are all sinners and are given grace and forgiven if we confess and repent. But taking pride in our sin and calling sinful nature GOOD and embracing what the Bible says is sin…it’s just not compatible with following Christ.

I promise you that—from their perspective, they are objecting *because* they love her…not because they have deemed HER unworthy of love.
God calls us to be joyful in our obedience to him. They are praying that she will derive joy from confessing her sin and being obedient to God instead of from indulging her own temptations to sin.

I’m not saying that this is MY belief or even that it’s a correct one. Just laying this out in hopes that you, as a non-religious mother of both your daughter and your religious son might be able to get a glimpse into his perspective.

This is utter BS. This is the Trumper Evangelical Christian and it’s very clear this poster believes this as the poster calls the mother “non-religious” as an insult as the mother likely is very religious. But that’s the BS that Evangelicals would do for decades before Trump came along. Say, “well that’s how this person feels, I was just explaining…I didn’t say I feel that way”…while clearly insulting someone and it is very clear to all they do feel that way. It’s a fig leaf meant to push people around just incase they got uppidy and called a stone a stone.

These kind of talk was done in South Carolina in the 1990s as people wanted the Confederate Flag removed from the SC State Capital. Evangelicals would claim it’s “heritage not hate” to anyone they knew disagreed with them……except it was hate and racism and everyone knew it. The Confederate Flag was put up on the SC State Capitol building to object to the Civil Rights Equality legislation in the 1960s, supposedly for “one year”.
