Can my sister and I heal after she said gay people are satanic and pedophiles?
A gay reader cut off contact after his sister sent a book claiming gay people are "satanic, Marxist pedophiles." After her husband’s death she apologized and now says she no longer believes those claims.
Dear Eric: Three years ago, my older sister sent me a book that stated that gay people are satanic, Marxist pedophiles. I am gay and wrote her back asking if she believed this. She replied that she did. I was shocked and angry and stopped communicating with her.
Her husband died eight months ago, and I received an effusive apology from her stating how sorry she was that she had hurt me. I responded that what was important to me was whether she still believed her earlier statements. She said she did not.
