31. I have a friend who was disowned by his family for being gay
He was thrown out of the house at 19, knocked around for a few years at odd jobs in NYC, and was very close to homelessness. His parents then said that they would be happy to help him out if he attended "reparative" therapy. He refused, and has since not spoken to them in more than 3 years.

He didn't care about getting married or being in the military. All he asked for was acceptance and love from his family.
