2. This is genuinly touching.

His brother is lucky for having a supporting sibling. He got to grow up with close support, nothing can compare to that

Nothing personal???? That's quite a dissociated disillusioned disconnected DICK!

We might reach the point one day where no gay kid knows what it feels like to be rejected by his family if more and more people turn out like this AWESOME GUY!

Thanks for the post, really made my day!

4. He should tell his unfriend to go back to his concubines and make busy having out of wedlock babies

like in the bible
instead of getting down on two people who love not hate and those celebrating their union

Among the Israelites, men commonly acknowledged their concubines, and such women enjoyed the same rights in the house as legitimate wives.[8] The principal difference in the Bible between a wife and a concubine is that wives had dowries, while concubines did not.

The concubine may not have commanded the same respect and inviolability as the wife. In the Levitical rules on sexual relations, the Hebrew word that is commonly translated as "wife" is distinct from the Hebrew word that means "concubine". (However, on at least one other occasion the term is used to refer to a woman who is not a wife - specifically, the handmaiden of Jacob's wife.[9]) In the Levitical code, sexual intercourse between a man and a wife of a different man was forbidden and punishable by death for both persons involved.[10][11] The Bible notes several incidents of intercourse between a man and another man's concubine, and none of them resulted in capital punishment for either party,[12][13][14] although the man to whom the concubine belonged was dishonored by such a relationship.[8] For instance, David is portrayed as having been dishonored when his concubines had a sexual relationship with his son Absalom.[15]

Because it was regarded as the highest blessing to have many children, legitimate wives often gave their maids to their husbands to atone, at least in part, if they were barren, as in the cases of Sarah and Hagar, and Rachel and Bilhah.[8] The children of the concubine had equal rights with those of the legitimate wife;[8] for example, King Abimelech was the son of Gideon and his concubine.[16] Later[8] biblical figures such as Gideon, and Solomon had concubines in addition to many childbearing wives. For example, the Books of Kings say that Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines.[17]
