I don't know why, all I know is that having the label christian doesn't mean anything.
Anyway, is there something we can help you with? Is this your situation?

How can "Christian" parents justify kicking their kids out of the house?
It's not biblical that's for sure.
1 Timothy 5:8 says "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."
And yet it seems like the "normal", "okay" thing to do if their child is homosexual or transgender.
It's happened to me, it's happened to friends of mine..
I just don't understand how parents can claim to be Christians and still do this to their kids??

I don't know, and it breaks my heart. I think it's because of the false belief that these kids are "choosing" to be gay and/or transgender....like being gay or straight is a candy store choice or something. These are real struggles, real inclinations, temptations, or whatever you want to call them. More than anything, they need the love of Christ given to them unconditionally. This doesn't mean parents have to accept the "acts" of sexual sin (or any "acts" of sin for that matter) taking place under their roof. Kids need to respect their parents in what they want for their home. But for kid who is confiding this struggle to their parents and getting kicked out in response? It's unconscionable.

...you really believe that kicking your own child out of your home to try and fend for themselves (while they're still in highschool and unemployed mind you) is okay? really? what about that verse? it says anyone who does "has denied faith"

If you wouldn't kick your "straight" kid out for struggling with sexual issues, then you would be very hypocritical for doing so to your gay child. I know the heart of the Father for the prodigal. He didn't "kick" his prodigal out, the son went willingly...and the father gave him what he asked for, his inheritance..(many Christians to day would call him an enabler)...and all the while that Father yearned for the son...until the son realized he ended up as nothing...and came back. That, my brothers and sisters, is the heart of our Father...and it's no different from what He's done for each one of us.

my parents kicked me out when i was in middle school. i'm not even gay or anything. i think i got mad one day during an argument with my mom, and i flipped a table. i think that was the cause. some parents are just crazy i'd imagine.
