Those photos are so sweet. Congratulations for this big step! I’ll bet your wedding will be a ton of fun, so it is so unfortunate that your brother will miss it. It seems like much of the world is making significant strides in its acceptance of gay lifestyle choices. Some people are a bit ahead of the curve and some people are behind. My bet and hope is that your brother will come around. Best wishes!

It’s the hypocrisy that gets me down. Any of us would defend your brother’s right to believe what he wishes, but any of his crew would fail to do the same if they had the power. It’s as dumb as a hammer, and very, very sad. I am watching a 12 year friendship go down the tubes at the moment because of the same base problem, albeit in a completely different context.

It’s just such a waste of love and life.

However. I’m really glad for you two, and that you will have so much love and life at your wedding. If you can, focus on the 99.9% positive, not tedious detractors whatever form they take. :)

That’s a bummer. As he would probably say, “It’s Lisa’s choice to be gay,” it’s also his choice to be so against you. Sheesh. At least go to the wedding, even if it’s just to be at a family gathering and to join in on the celebration.

He can wish you well and be happy that you’ve found happiness and still have his religion, can’t he?

Those pictures are awesome. Your marriage is awesome.

I think it shows some serious god-like compassion that you love him with all the openness and honour you wish he would bestow on you.

Love–above all else–to you and RB.
