25 years ago my Evangelical FIL told The Viking "It's better to marry than to burn" & that he'd pray for them when they came out to him as bi.

My in-laws are currently sponsoring and hosting 2 trans women refugees from Central America.

They have spent the last 10 years working on Reconciliation in the UMC, of which they are now members, having left their prior church over equality issues.

They're in their early 70s.

Don't let anyone tell you "that's just their generation, they can't change, that's just how they are."
