I have a friend whose dad turned out to be gay. The minister later admitted to his mother that he knew before he married them. She asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Perhaps because of this, he has seemingly become more socially liberal over the years. The day SCOTUS sanctified gay marriage, he posted a song by the band Rainbow. He doesn't often get political on Facebook (my guess, to not alienate his friend list), so I read that as support. In response, I posted the Byrds' version of the Louvin Brothers "The Christian Life":

I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall?
Others find pleasure in things I despise
I like the Christian life

I have only spoken to him a handful of times since then. Maybe it's because he's very busy with work and the family. Maybe it's because he mainly communicates through Facebook, and I never use it (that song posting was probably the last time). Or, maybe my posting that pissed him off. I don't really know.
