21. My now deceased brother-in-law shunned his gay son
and he died without speaking to him. The gay son was not invited to the funeral or even mentioned during the service or in the obituary. It was very sad and disturbing.
To make things even more tragic, a younger son had pre-deceased the father, so the gay son was the only living child. The family only acknowledged the dead son and the two step-children and would not even allow the ex-wife of my brother-in-law to attend either. It was just awful. :cry: The gay son lives (lived?) in New Orleans. I hope he's OK. We don't know how to contact him. Mr. CB hasn't seen in since before he came out years ago. :(
Did I mention that my in-laws are Republican, Catholics who live in the New Orleans suburbs? Don't you just love those Christian family values? :sarcasm:
