I know it sounds weird, and I should mind my own business but our family doesn't work that way. My sister who is in her early 30s (single mom) has "befriended" an ex who I, along with many others believe is gay. I don't have a problem with the gay part, it's the part that involves her romantically linked to him and possibly marrying him and how this would affect the whole family. My neice was raised by all of us and a relationship with this guy would force her to move across state. She tends to make irrational mistakes and we all suffer for it, except this time I think it would kill my mother who is extremely close to my neice (one and only grandchild). I really feel my mother's health will be at stake if this were to happen. My neice spends more time with her than my sis., and I know this experience will scar my neice emotionally. If my sis does this, there's no way she would let her daughter stay. Our family is closely nit, but my sis has a short fuse making it hard to talk to her...

I guess I should add that we've been approached by others caliming they know he is gay for a fact. He is very much involved in a church that believes homosexuality is a sin and I think he's playing the "straight" role because his father is a pastor. I think he's fooling himself and everyone around him, so, can I prove his sexual preference, probably not. I don't think she's in love with him, I think she's in love with the idea of getting married.

If we are all involved in raising her daughter and their living expenses then I think I have a say. I hate this attitude that we need to sit back and be quiet when it comes to family. A family is there to love, support and yes, bring them back to reality a times as well. We don't detach from each other to avoid confrontation, if you love and care for your family you do what you can to help in everyway possible.
