Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

A surprising percentage of the world is okay with making their children homeless if they are any variety of LGBTQ+.
Where? Because I would go straight to jail if I tried to pull that stunt in my country.
Abandonement, deriliction of paternal duties, abuse, mistreat... these are just from the top of my head. The list can grow longer.
I grew up in Oklahoma, and the cops showed up once when I was around 7 because I was being abused. They said my stepdad was allowed to hit me and made it understood that I was the one disturbing the neighbors and I needed to behave.
The Oklahoma board of education is just now this year making legislative headway into a law banning teachers from hitting disabled students. Not all students, just disabled students. They've been arguing about it for years because there's enough parents saying that being allowed to hit a kid with crutches is part of their religion.
You are very lucky to have grown up somewhere other than the US. I can't wrap my head around this level of abuse not being normal. It sounds wonderful.
Speaking from experience, this culture is just as common outside the US, and outside Christianity too.
People with even halfway decent parents don't realise how lucky they are.
