Jordan telling the story may make some viewers uncomfortable but it sounds like she's accepted what happened to her family and she's not ashamed of it. Her openness is what I like most about her.

BTW has Kevin told his story to anyone in the house? I don't recall hearing it, but I've missed a lot. After this think I'm getting back to my Entourage guys. But send me strong vibes if I need to come running back again!

Lajone that but its also because he's now ex JW which means he is excommunicated and they cut off the ties. I've known many former JWs who thats happened to.

Well said Chere! Well it seems some of us see it one way, others totally different. Guess it's an agree to disagree moment here.

Well, Kevin said he has a good relationship with his partner of nine years so I'm happy he has that love and security of a family unit in his life.

I agree with you Bee. She is telling stories about other people. I don't care if they are members of your family - it's not her story to tell. If she was my daughter I would be pissed.

Loppes, you would not beleive how many kids this happens to. Just ordinary families kicking their own children out of the house. I volunteer at a teen shelter and I see first hand how hateful people can be for the stupidest reasons. I'm glad to see he made it in the world. He seems to be pretty well adjusted in spite of it all.

I just cannot imagine being treated that way simply because you are gay. I wish it weren't even an issue but sadly, it still is these days. Not just anybody, but by his family. People that raised him. I cam begin to imagine how that must feel like.

That's why I have a problem with people who take their religion so seriously that they would abandon their child. My son is gay and he has many friends just like Kevin. It breaks my heart, which is why we have become the adopted parents of so many. I like when hgs share their lives with each other. Usually the ones I don't like are those that share nothing.

Dang that's sooo sad! And I really think that story could help Jeff understand her on a totally different level. Mindeegap, glad to hear that with Kevin. Although am I wrong or does there always seem to be a saddness and negative energy around him? Hard to know how that relates to the parental thing though, even though that seems the obvious connection. Why do I have such a hard time tearing myself away? And why oh WHY am I wide eyed and bushy tailed at 3 am dang it! OH Fish good time to go back to Entourage. At least that won't take long...the eps have been soo darn short this year!

Mind, religion is often just the excuse to hide behind. The hate has to be there regardless of your religion. I'm a Christin and I have no problem with someone being gay.

The sad thing is that so many young adults lose their faith in anything after being brought up in a faith that turns their back on them when they come out.

Lurk (I think you asked if Kevin shared his story?,) he told Lydia and she told Jesse that he shared a personal story about his religious upbringing with Russell. I didn't hear him tell either of them though or anyone else, just heard Lydia say that. But, when he went to talk to Russell in HOH Friday, I think it was, and was looking at his pics he said a couple things to Russ then that made me fairly sure he had told Russell his story. Something like how lucky Russ was to have such a caring family and some more stuff (I can't remember exactly what it was) but whatever it was left me thinking that Russell did know.

If Jesse or Nat shared a story it might humanize them to me..I might have a different opinion if I knew why they behaved so coldly.

Not sure I understand your point Mindeegap? We are just discussing life situations the HG made public and how we feel that may affect them in life and relating to others. Minus the weave lol. Think I has best go actually lol...but I for one found all this insight interesting. But in RL I always wonder what experiences have affected people. It's much easier IMHO to be compassionate and patient with someone if you understand what they've been through. And Earthmother ITA with you about HG sharing. I think it's cause we get to know them on a human connected level. And how great of you to be there for your son's friends in need (and how VERY sad not all parents are there for their kids no matter what...love should come first. You can disapprove of something -if you must-but still give them love and support IMHO).

I do think Kevin told Lydia his story but if Russell knows, it was probably not from Kevin directly.
