Society is evolving daily. People are becoming more open and accepting of different cultures and orientations. However, traditions still limit some — those who still pass judgment on others who fall short of their presupposed standards.
The funeral was tragic, and the last thing anyone wants in a funeral is more reasons to be sad. Nancy didn’t ask for one, but she got it regardless. Before the funeral started, everyone was socializing.
Socializing, Nancy’s sister made a comment that disrupted Nancy’s thoughts till the end of the day. They mentioned that one of their family members left a post on Facebook years ago. The post said that Nancy was going to h*ll because of her sexual orientation; she is bisexual.
One would think people must have learned to love or at least accept others regardless of their gender or preferences, but it is not the case. Instead, a family member judged Nancy for her identity. Her sister said she didn’t see the post but heard it through their aunt.
She tried to play it cool, convincing herself that it was no big deal, but the hardest person to lie to is yourself. It distracted her throughout the service, and she couldn’t take it anymore.
