Do people who try to stop gay love deserve to be punished?

Did you stay away from your grandparents for your own good, or did you stay away to punish them? It's the difference between taking care of yourself or being a vindictive asshole. No one likes people who think vindictively (once they realize that the person thinks vindictively).

Yes, yes...this is absolutely a discussion of the vindictiveness of some child....... whose parents have flat out refused to accept their own child.  The very fact that any such change is conceptualized as a punishment shows the presence of empathy and guilt on the part of the child utterly lacking on the part of the parents.  It might hurt the parents, you see, to be excluded from their childs life - a state of affairs clearly not considered on the other end.

Just stahp, lol.

You shouldn't be encouraging this kid to be thinking in terms of one bad turn deserves another, unless you think that we should all be living in a world of bad turns. Sometimes we have to make decisions that have negative consequences for others for our own protection. But if we impose negative consequences on others just to punish them for some hurt that they have caused us, we are no different than them. People who think vindictively do nothing but cause trouble for everyone around them.
