The first Christmas I spent with my boyfriend's (who is recently now my ex) family, I met my boyfriend's brother who was gay. I mean, he had moved in with his partner down in Florida and everything. I ended up becoming quick friends with Kevin and I found myself talking with him more then anyone else (even more then my boyfriend!). After the Christmas dinner, Kenny (my boyfriend) drove me home. We somehow got around the subject of Kevin and my boyfriend said that he was very close to him as well. Then he said something that scares me to this day: "Yeah, Kevin's a really good brother. I love him so much.... It's a shame that he's going to Hell."
Seriously. He said that. This guy is so brainwashed that he thinks that this guy who did nothing wrong in his life is going to hell just because of his sexuality.
Thing is... I started to see things that I found odd. I realized that Kenny's mannerisms and postures were very feminine. He would even tell me time and time again how he thought a male celebrity was attractive. It wasn't before long when I realized that my boyfriend was gay as well. The problem was that I don't think that he realized it or if he did, he was trying to hide it due to his religious beliefs.
That can't be healthy for a person. He has to accept his sexuality before something bad happens to himself or to someone else. So here is my question: How can one get someone to realize what they are doing to themselves without scarring them too much? How can I get Kenny to see that he is gay and that he should abandon his believes and accept who he really is?
