[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are better off not hanging out with them, if they'd have a problem with someone who appreciates sunblock.  I know it hurts, and it doesn't mean you can't be good siblings who love each other - you just don't hang out on vacations together.  It'll be fine.  You're different than your jerky siblings, and that's good.[/quote]

This! 
OP, it's time for you to take a lesson from your gay & lesbian friends. Many queer folks have been shunned by their families. So they create what is known as their "chosen family." It's friends whom they love, trust and rely upon. They celebrate birthdays and holidays together, just like any other family would. You need to create your own chosen family. Build your friendships. Go to the beach with another family. Celebrate with them. Just because your sisters share some DNA with you, it doesn't mean you have to spend "family" time with them. Spend your vacations and holidays with real family friends. :)[/quote]

As someone who just returned from a big family reunion/vacation with my sister and her wife (actually the wedding served as a winter vacation for the extended family too), I wish that I would never have to read about people being shunned for being in love :(

Not that building a chosen family isn't good on its own or "second best", its perfectly wonderful to surround yourself with great friends that become like family. I have both that and a close family that is blood so i get it. I just hate the idea that its still a necessity or alternative for many people.

And my family is blue collar, not very educated/ aware of the world in a bigger sense, probably more conservative than most DCUMers have! But love is love.[/quote]
