My partner and I have told our respective parents about the upcoming marriage.

Mine cried because they won& #39;t be able to fly over from Portugal due to everything going on and they& #39;ll miss it. My partner& #39;s parents cried because he& #39;s gay and marrying a man. Priorities, right? 1/3

Countless parents who lost their children to illness or an accident would give everything to see them grow up and marry a decent person who loves them passionately.

My partner& #39;s parents have a good, healthy and much loved son. Yet they& #39;re wallowing in pointless self-pity. 2/3

You can& #39;t change certain cards that are dealt to you in life. I& #39;m very lucky to have the family that I have, and I& #39;m proud that my family has taken my partner in like one of their own.

Your child is gay? So fucking what? There are real problems in the world. This isn& #39;t one. 3/3
