Posted by Ruth: I have two gay cousins. One is male and lives in san fran and the other is a lesbian and lives in london.I don't have a relationship with either but I do love them.Its hard when you see family going down a dangerous path and can't do anything about it. Me and my sibs were much younger then my cousins and when we had family dinners they were told by my aunt that if they were to never show affection towards their bf or gf in front of us kids.I don't think she went far enough because I grew up thinking gay was fine-that it was,{normal}.Even my mom being a christian didn't stop the influence thay had on us younger ones.I don't mean to sound uncaring but, I'm glad that I'm not close to that side of my family-I just wouldn't want all the arguments and hurt feelings.What do u do when u love your family who are gay, but u don't want them to influence your children? I wish I had the answer?

Posted by IlovemyJesus: Ruth, I wanted to tell you my husband and I made a decision a few months ago concerning my brother that came out of the closet to our family a year ago. We are going to love him no matter what. However, we will not allow him to have any type of influence over our children. If he is allowed by my parents to bring his "friend" to their house we will simply not go. We of course will not go to his home in another State as long as he is living the active homosexual lifestyle. Believe me it was not an easy conclusion, but my first priority is to sheild my children and that I will do....
