In this episode of Tangents & Threads, we dive into the complexities of faith, family, and acceptance through the lens of a Reddit post from a mother seeking advice. Her gay son is getting married. His stepfather refuses to attend. How does she reconcile her love for her son with her faith and family dynamics? We explore the deeper issues at play, including societal pressures, personal growth, and the power of education in breaking down fear and misunderstanding.
We also tackle a critical and difficult topic: LGBTQ+ suicide and mental health. We discuss the real statistics, the impact of rejection, and most importantly, how support saves lives.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of suicide, mental health, and LGBTQ+ discrimination. If these topics are difficult for you, please listen with care.
