While I do find it hypocritical, you actually have to respect that when it comes to family, there's usually a larger point of view than just yourself. Family is complicated as hell.

I could actually see someone being fine having gay friends and supporting gay people, while still wanting a traditional marriage in their family, but I do think that would be more a group pressure if the rest of the family opposed it as well. I still think you should stand up to them and defend any gay person, but I'd understand if it was hard fighting your family. Personally, I'd take the side of the gay person (A brother, sister, whoever it was). Human rights should always come first, even over family and obligations and traditions.

I wouldn't refuse a gay family member, heck, if my own father came out and said he was gay, I'd support him and his decisions. I may be a cynical bastard but if there's one thing I do truly believe in and stand for, it's equal rights and personal freedom to be and do whatever you want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
