hypolite (hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com)'s status on Friday, 25-Nov-2022 06:02:06 JST hypolite @kingu_platypus_gidora I don’t think it’s comparable, I’ve never heard about atheist being thrown out of their parents’ home in the same numbers as queer and trans folks. Same goes for hate-motivated murders. -

It is very comparable. A lot of people cut with their family when their leave the faith.I actually know more people who do not talk with their family for religious reason than for sexual orientation reasons.
Try to go say hi to your mom after leaving the Jehovah's witness...
But the number is irrelevant anyway.

But I suspect it mostly happen in religious family, so it's kind of linked...
