My sibling came out in 1990 and told me to use his new name and pronouns. I refused, as did my mom who was living at the time. In response he cut us out of his life. Since then I have rebuked him. He will take nothing less than my total acceptance and approval of his lifestyle. I do pray and fast for his conversion daily.
I quit a marketing job 2 years ago when they asked me to schedule and participate in a Gay Pride March to promote the company. I refused and resigned. Since then, whenever I'm offered a job I make it known that I do not want to engage in any marketing that is related to political views. I tell them I wish to remain neutral and not march in Pride. So far, other employers have been okay with my stance.
