I'm worried about my gay nephew

29 M here. My nephew, 10, lives with his parents (33 F, 31 M). His parents are highly religious, deeply conservative. My nephew is gay.I've been trying to change my sister's perspective on homosexuality for years, but she's balls deep at this point. How do you reverse 30 years of indoctrination?? She's on the extremist side of these beleifs (homosexuality is pure evil, etc). I inadvertently ousted my non-belief by arguing these points, which pushed me (much) further away from my sister. Now she refuses to take my advice, let alone talk to me (she stopped responding to my texts/calls months ago).In the past 2-3 years I'd make it a point to visist my nephew weekly, and he knew he could tell me anything. We would talk about his favorite toys, cartoons, pastimes. His choices for entertainment were always chastised by his parents, so I'd try to support his happiness in that way. I mainly tried to reinforce the concept of being different and having that be ok. He finally asked me about being gay a few months ago. I tried to play it cool like this wasn't a conversation I'd already thought about dozens of times. I basically told him how I have plenty of gay friends that are perfectly happy and normal and how it would all be ok (lies, i had 1 gay friend in college). I just wanted him to feel like it wasn't a big deal. I didn't get a chance to talk to him in person after that; they moved away.Now he lives several thousand miles away from me, and I want to keep supporting him, because I very much doubt he's gonna get any of that from his parents. What can I personally do to make sure his relationship with sexuality stays healthy? How do I support him?I'm worried he's at the age where kids are really mean at school. I just hope his parents aren't adding to that by filling up his head with ideas of self hate.I honestly don't know what to do. Is this the right sub for this? Should I post to an LGBTQ sub instead? Any advice is deeply appreciated. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2qP6ZhI
