It's sometimes difficult for parents, family, relatives, friends, and others, to accept when they learn how someone they're close is different, not have the same view, et cetera, than themselves. Could be sexuality, religion, politics, among others.
My father, and people I’m related, will not accept when I came out. I know someone who’s family disowned her when she left her husband three years ago. (religious belief).
Still don't understand how people expect others to live their life based on how they think, their beliefs or views, and so on.

I was lucky when I came out. My dad he was great and absolutely accepted me for me. My mum hmm she was okay with it but I wasn’t silly and I waited until I was 18 to come out to her, which worked out for the best that I did wait as she threatened my then girlfriend at the time. In the end though she to accepted me and the way I lived. My friends who I grew up with was not so accepting, these were people who I grew up with, my best friend was only 2 days younger than me and stood by me through one of the toughest things in my life but when I came out, forget it she wanted nothing to do with me. I have seen her and spoke with her twice in 27 years.
