ANY group of people can share a story about asking if their family's love is really conditional. MANY families express distaste for their children's partners. Sometimes mild, sometimes severe.

Queer Theory teaches that cis-hets always get unconditional love and acceptance from family, but Queer people must form their own glitter family. This is false. It's a social control technique to bond the group and discourage questions.

I was born in 1974. Grew up around plenty of lesbians, attended same sex marriages before they were legally recognized. The history you've been taught is mostly false. It bears no resemblance to the lived experience of the people who were actually there.
