My brother and I told our parents were were gay. They told us never to darken the door again . . . unless we got married and begged the church for forgiveness.
I was told it would help if I also showed up pregnant. This was 1988. I spotted them briefly at my Grandfather's funeral. They left before it was over.
My Father died. I didn't learn about it until 4 months after it happened.
But ATHEIST???? Oh, that's much worse. Much, much worse. After all, true belief in SkyRapistDaddy is supposed to cure the nasty queers of their demon possession.
(I wondered more than once what would happen if I showed up pregnant and told 'em I was still a virgin and god was the father.)
