The other possibility for Jerocho's parent's reaction, keeping with their beliefs, is that they are holding out hope for two things: either that you'll one day find you're way back to Christianity, or that you will somehow be allowed in heaven anyways.
I always find Christians who don't suppose the actions of god more palatable. Otherwise, they have to reconcile god sending good people to hell, or adding the middle man by damning them to hell themselve (the fucking worst Christians). When I was a Christian, the closest thing to a religion I could find that would explain the type of Christian I was, and my family are, is Opus Dei, which I also think describes the American Christians I see in my area more accurately.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
