LGBT kids coming out to their parents is literally one of the most heartbreaking things re: heteronormativity. Like it’s considered 100% normal for LGBT *children* to beg their parents to support and love them. The fact that most people will say stuff like “I’m still the same person” and “I hope you still love me” is… disgusting, because the lack of love and support is the assumed outcome. & then you have parents who will cry, ask their child “where did I go wrong?” or even saying things like “I’ll support you no matter what” because it’s the norm (and socially acceptable thing to do) to not support your child if/when you find out they’re LGBT… That said, parents accepting their child for being LGBT does not automatically make them a good parent and not accepting/loving your child for being LGBT is straight up child abuse.

Pro tip: When people ask for “prayers” or “positive energy,” that’s another way of asking for emotional support. So when you come on people’s posts saying “lol but God don’t real why don’t u do something real,” what that person hears is, “I don’t care about you, your suffering, or your problems.”
Requests for support and solidarity are *not* a good place to hash out the finer points of metaphysics.
