My dad is gay and this story resonates with me. Grieving a dad I’ve never truly had and people telling me “Your dad is so brave. Good for him.” Never mind my mother, myself, and siblings.

Therapist here. That therapist is completely unethical and needs to be investigated by the board.

You know the scariest part of this? They met in youth group and got married in church. She went into this thinking she was getting a Christian man whose values aligned with hers, which is exactly what he lead her to believe. Even in the church, there are snakes. This is terrifying.

This illness is Satanic. She’s so right, the root is selfishness. It’s sexual gratification. It’s dark. It’s ugly. It’s evil.

My father transitioned two years ago and my brother and I were told “your father is dead now. You can mourn him” I can’t even begin to describe the way this has felt and affected the both of us. This movement is truly evil and I can’t even begin say the only good thing that has come of it is that I found my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It was truly evil of this man to marry her and have children without ever telling her he was doing this

As someone who spent over a decade in and out of rehab centers for my addictions to opiates, benzos and alcohol, I am RIGHT THERE with Mr. Knowles in saying: I am SICK of the "Children are resilient" LIE. 99% of the people I went to rehab with, were people (like myself) who had horrific childhood traumas and experiences. Children are NOT resilient. That kind of mindset only permits more trauma towards children. Instead, don't hurt them. Don't abuse them. Don't traumatize them. Save the "resilience" for their ability to lose a football game graciously.
