Why push it, if they meet your partner doesn’t mean they’ll accept her.
Linda Ajide then they are nothing more than wankers
I follow the wisdom of Madea. "If people want to walk out of your life, let them go." Don't matter if they're your friends or your parents. They'll see in time what they had lost, but by then it'll be too late. They may have raised you, but they're adults, adults make decisions and have to deal with the consequences of those decisions. If faith and prejudices mean more to them than the child they raised, let them go. If you have tried everything to make them see reason, and be the best that you can be, and they still choose not to, let them go. It's time to stop. Family isn't who you're born to, it's who you'd die for. They're not family, move on.
Well it is the children who refuses to let go of their family members though. Boy is still living off his parents accommodation
@@987ujhpl well he is in is 30s and has a partner. If the government allows him equal rights to housing opportunities, he might not be living with his parents anymore
that first question lmao and the face he made after that question.... this guy is savage lol...
Mans started with THAT as the first question 😂😂😂
This too. It is great content. But pls consider giving Jubilee's team credit, as the polling format is also 90% similar to their program.

Their parents aren't rejecting their children but they're rejecting the reality of who they are which leads to these mixed feelings. Society is moving on from demonizing LGBT+ people and those who refuse to change their views on the issue are being left behind. The harsh truth is that Cheryl and Sean might need to leave their families behind and find their own paths in which their success and happiness become their ultimate victory rather than catering to people who are living in a fairy tale.
These types of comments are truly immature. There is no victory in burning bridges. There is no material benefit to leave family behind when they are condoning it. Boy’s parents didn’t’t evict him because of this disagreement. The girl clearly has attachments to her parents. Their victory scenario is acceptance and not schism.
Frm parents view: Difficult to accept OR wat others say/comment.
Frm lgbt: love & respect towards parents & their partner.
Now i understand how people like rui en, irene ang, joseline yeo, elvin ng, romeo tan, chen hanwei etc go through in life 🤷🏻♂️
i am sorry but im felt that the religion of the participants got nothing to do with the social experiment.. Like why is CNA showing that on the participants?
Go Huat have you been living under a rock? Most cases of homophobia, or at the very least refusal to accept homosexuality as anything more than a "lifestyle choice" comes from mainly conservative religious families. Because to them, it's "a sin" or some crap.
@@l156a21 it is a sin
your upbringing which also your religion shapes how you think as it influences your values. if you are not brought up religious then you probably won't get shaped much or not influenced as much.
@@awkwardsmile better to “sin” than to be a hypocrite
@@l156a21 then don't "sin" and turn over a new leaf. It's hard I know that 😢 I was in the same shoes.
Regardless Gay or not, family members not accepting your partner is a common issue. Why push? It's same as how you wouldn't accept a relationship with another gender, why make your family accept whether you are gay and/or your gay partner? Would you have accepted to being non-gay if your family kept telling you the benefits of it and go on to a talk show to share what constitute a "normal" family? You made your decision, and others make theirs. Whatever consequences that comes out of it, you'll have to accept it.
You can't choose to be non-gay. It's a biological thing
The gay person must realize they know deep inside they were created exactly the way they are and that is the Creator and God so we should never be afraid of the Creator and God. When didn't make this up. The Creator created us this way and most of us know this. That is true God unconditional love and acceptance the way we are created is the way we're created. ❤
This is a really good series by CNA on the LGTQI community and some of the struggles they face.
She’s my pri school ex classmates ex gf.
If they dont want to meet your partner, why push it?
Ya lah so hard up for what? Not everyone can accept a butch.
Maybe your parents are willing to meet and accept your partner if she had long hair, sexy and a feminine girl
@D C it's not that. Some parents dont approve of their childrens' heterosexual partners too. It's their choice. People are just too soft nowadays.
@@megajatt123 there’s a difference in your comparison. In heterosexual relationships, they may not like the partner because there is something about the partner’s personality, behavior or treatment of their son/daughter in which the parents ended up not liking the partner. In same-sex relationships, the parents did not give a chance to get to know the partner. It’s like skin color- once the parents know the skin color of the partner, they shut the door.
I think the two folks in this show are not asking the parents to like their partners; they are asking for an opportunity from their parents to get to know their partner before making a decision.
@@love2CUsmile86 religion and social status and even looks are possible conflict points. And many of these factors are also “not by choice, born into it”
The whole idea is from jubilee do credit them
I feel that Cheryl should cut herself from her family entirely. The fact that her family doesn’t accept her partner is like not respecting her decision in life. By doing so, her parents are still viewing her as a child who doesn’t know better. Since her parents are so disrespectful towards her choice in life, why should she continue to give them the respect that they don’t deserve? After all, respect needs to be earned. Just because her parents brought her up, it doesn’t give them the right to despise her choice in life and to despise her partner.
Yes she should do just that. She is making herself guilty for the relationship she is in because she allows her family to disrespect her. Why do you need acceptance from them? By insisting that your family will accept your partner, you are making her feel guilty and sorry. Although family is important to you but if they cannot accept your partner, it’s already an insult. You know you are happier when you dun need to visit them. I let go of my family a long time ago and moved out. After many years, my mum started calling me and even invited my partner for dinner and since then we have dinner every week. We just came from the US with my family of 9 members. When you let go and know who is your priority, things will turn out fine. Trust me! Be proud of who you are and never feel guilty about your choice. Let them go and they will eventually find you. Your presence right now is not helping them to appreciate you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder is so true.
It’s easy for people who do not have gay children to say it’s fine.
Ya I agree
Taiwan🇹🇼 is the *best country in Asia* that respects LGBTQ rights.
- China is the opposite.
Everyone in my family "knew but kept quiet" - hoping it would just "go away".
A difficult situation, as my first 2 partners were a real problem, confrontational, occasionally aggressive, and my second partner was "plainly stupid" only after my money - SO SAD - HMMM
Now, thankfully, after 18 years together, I have the BEST MAN in the World, ALL of my family loves my "Hubby" - AND - just wait for this: We have NEVER had an enlargement - NEVER!
What a brilliant Hubby :-)
Religious circles would want their offsprings to marry within the religion. That is a common expectation. Parents would also want their children to marry within their social status too. There are so many levels to disagree with a potential partner and they just choose it zero in on the most fashionable item.
These group of people can be termed as Goodbye Horses coined by Q Lazzarus 🐴↗️➡️↘️
It feels that their dilemma is nothing compared to mine. I wish I had their problems.
On the flip side. How easy would it be for a lgbtq couple to accept that a child they either adopted or got from a surrogate is straight?
It wouldn't be an issue? lol
LGBTQ was an ancient lifestyle now appearing in modern day society.
and it is waiting to be wiped by modern earthquake or volcano
if u family is conservative or societies of behaviour, religi, and culture which mindset gender only 2 🚩⛔
Ban
Everyone supports LGBT nowadays, seems like the cool thing to do. After all, it's a form western decadence we all love so much. Problem is, we do not want our children to be LGBTs and that's a fact
LGB is one thing but T is another, I dont think these 2 things should be grouped together.
This Sean Foo is really one of a kind shameless. Parents ashamed of him and he still appear on CNA bring them further shame
