Regardless of how you feel about the subject matter, please watch the whole thing because it's a lesson in compassion and simple humanity for us all. I'm not sharing this to cram an agenda down anyone's throats. I don't care if you support gay marriage or not, although I detest homophobes. I'm doing it because this is WRONG in every sense.
It doesn't matter gay or straight, black or white, whether it be a case of sexism, creedism, racism, or bigotry, this is WRONG!!! If someone in your family finds someone to LOVE, be happy for them and mind your own fucking business. You don't have to support their lifestyle, but if you can't support them in a consenting adult relationship with a person they love who makes them happy, you relinquish the moral right to call them family.
Family should want each other to be happy, not set out to make each other miserable and torment anyone who brings joy to their lives. I came from a family who would go above and beyond to make sure I was miserable and seen as the worst of the worst through lies and hate. I may not be gay but this could just as well have been me in other situations. It could be us all.
Would you be Tom? Would you be Shane? Would you be Tom's twisted, hateful family? Or would you be Shane's loving and supportive family, loving him just because he is blood and deserves love?
