A Young Person Comes Out to Their Mormon Parents and Gets Kicked Out for Being Gay/Trans

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?
