We got into it on Facebook. She posted a quote from Huckabee about the Indiana law and I told her to educate herself and that the Indiana law isn't exactly like the Illinois or Federal law. That's when she proceeded to tell me that the law was needed to protect Christians from the same-sex marriage agenda. I then promptly replied to her that if I and when I ever get married she'll not be invited to my "agenda."
No response back, of course. What saddens me is that she goes back and forth on her fundie views and doesn't seem to realize that when you think your only sibling has turned a corner and accepted you but then posts crap like that, it hurts. Plus, she has a teen-age bisexual granddaughter whom I hope doesn't see that crap.
Sorry, had to vent.

(15,064 posts)dying from a precursor to cancer. I have not heard her utter a regret of any kind. I feel some guilt but know in my heart I am right about my feelings and what is right in general. So the only regret I have is that she has not changed. Her husband recently died and he was an unrepentant Republican. I just call her and see her now without the politics and tell her, she is my sister and I love her. I hope you are at peace.

(34,582 posts)would the "agenda" include a kick ass reception? I don't understand how a sibling could be this way. I used to have radically different views about gay people when I was younger- then my sister told me she was gay. I went from "Oh, that's not natural" to "wait a minute, there is nothing unnatural about my sister or any of her friends I have met" (that was after my first trip to a gay bar for a party for my sister) to "I support civil unions" to "I fully support marriage equality". It is too bad that some just refuse to evolve.
