A 21-year-old non-binary lesbian was recently kicked out of their family home after revealing their sexuality and leaving the Mormon church. The parents claimed they could not have someone 'living in sin' under their roof, which led to the child finding an apartment and job in a nearby city. However, when the child revealed the real reason for leaving to their boss, the gossip spread quickly around the workplace. When the child's mother came to pick them up from work, she was confronted by angry coworkers who had heard about the situation. Now the child is questioning whether they were in the wrong for telling their coworkers and feels guilty for accepting help from their parents during the pandemic. What do you think - is the child the a**hole in this situation?

Kicked out of home for being gay, AITA?

A 21-year-old non-binary lesbian comes out to their Mormon parents, who proceed to kick them out of their home as they believe their child is 'living in sin.' Though the poster has since found a new job and apartment, they are grappling with feelings of guilt as their parents had allowed them to stay rent-free during the pandemic. However, the poster's parents maintain they aren't kicking their child out for being gay or leaving the church, but rather to set boundaries. The poster is questioning if they are the a**hole in this situation. The post highlights the struggles of LGBTQ+ individuals in religious families and the importance of creating a safe and accepting environment for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The following comments and reactions will likely provide support and guidance for the poster as they navigate this difficult situation.
