You need to read the thread before posting, that way you can avoid being so insensitive. Some people would have a hard time if they were completely rejected by their family and closest friends over their sexuality. It's more than a "so what" situation. Relationships are important to us and they are what give us meaning in our lives. If we have strong, happy relationships, we will lead happier, more fulfilling lives. So yeah, if your family and friends turn their backs on you, it kind of IS a big deal.
