'Sister Wives' Daughter on Coming Out as Gay to Her Family

[@pressurelwt1492]

"I'm Gay!" "Oh honey, I thought you were going to tell me you had cancer!" THE BEST REACTION

[@TheLicktysplitz]

[@Youtubintheuser]

That made me laugh so hard!! Ahh

[@Breezy-bv9te]

Absolutely!! Made me tear up..💦

[@erickamunoz9497]

Lavender Violet Some people come across like that by myself then come across like I’m giddy but it’s just myself mechanism of protection and reaction a lot of my actions don’t come out the way I want them to eat now because I have like a problem like fun people do like when they laugh at their meeting to either cry or feel sad or a different emotion it’s just that sometimes that’s the way that you react so I can understand her once my friend said something extremely harsh and I couldn’t help legit not awkwardly smile just smile and just be like oh my God I thought you were going to come even something worse but no it’s just the way that I react and she knew that so she didn’t make me feel bad but some other people did you get really mad at them I don’t remember exactly anymore because it been a long while but that’s not usually how my reactions are in everybody around me has learned to understand it maybe for heard something like that because she did seem extremely worried they’re going to have to go through some major shit

[@oddooddood7677]

I mean statistically one of those kids was bound to be gay.

[@Marzi29]

Statistically more than one!

[@redomkhan5455]

oddooddood because she thought 💭 one ☝️ man enjoying multiple woman why not me. Then she said Mom I'm gay.

[@Feliciatanktop]

BeachyBlondeWaves you're wrong. 3.5% of adult Americans are gay, lesbian or bisexual, this excludes all of the closeted ones. But 7% of millennials are LGBT so that number is going to get to 10% probably within the next 20 years. And it's not even because more gay people are suddenly appearing, being LGBT is becoming more and more accepting so people feel more comfortable coming out rn as opposed to 1885 where you would be completely shunned and beaten up

[@kkrs1999]

Both statements were just, stupid.

[@watchgoose]

Kondor, not so fast. Read the Bible on that subject. If they believe the Bible as they say, they are disregarding it big-time. And Meri only had an online relationship - no physical affair. Remember Kodi divorced her so he could marry Robin, also. Maybe this kid sees being gay as a way to get out of the male-dominated thing.

[@porcelainpinup4302]

If you’re a serial monogamist then you don’t understand polyamory let alone polygamy. Do not forget she wanted to live this lifestyle! Just like every relationship there are rules and boundaries. She went behind her husband’s back and emotionally cheated on him. It doesn’t matter how many wives he has. She agreed to a closed off relationship and family with her husband and sister wives.

[@porcelainpinup4302]

watchgoose which part of the Bible? The part where Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, and Jacob had multiple wives? That’s just a handful of polygamists in the Bible. The part in Deuteronomy where it says to stone your daughter for having premarital sex? The Old Testament is still part of the Bible. If you believe in the 10 commandments and Adam and Eve then you’re following the Old Testament. The Bible isn’t al a carte.

[@MichelleB2b]

Cody's statement regarding his conversation with God about Mariah's sexuality is bang on. We are to love, not to judge.

[@kkrs1999]

So many "religious" people have forgotten that or just don't care (because they know it's wrong) but, when they pass away and they're being judged by Him, He's gonna want to know why they were doing His job. But hey, that's they're relationship with God. I stay in my lane.

[@elainemarie9470]

Michelle, so true. I'm a raised Christian and born-again. God is the one who told me He made me gay. I was freaked out and pretty surprised, since my church & religion heavily preached against homosexually and demonized it. God has also told me the same thing: only He judges, not us. God showed me how my being a lesbian was a gift from Him. TBH, I didn't believe Him. But once I processed the false programming, including the internalized hatred all marginalized people get, I really got to see His Prophecy in action. Having the personal relationship & spiritual visions of God and Jesus helped me immensely in accepting my in-born lesbianism. I could never understand why it was called a choice, since I would've never ever, in a million years, choose such a thing. I did years of trying to "pray the gay away." On very rare occasions, I've seen some people being successful in having heterosexual marriages, but then, sexual orientation & gender identification are on a continuum. It was a difficult path, especially with some of my family being fundamentalist (I was one, too; forgive me, Father, for my own sins of self-righteousness my elders taught me). However, they were totally accepting because they love me. Bless them. Love is not supposed to be conditional, folks. In hindsight, my personal growth from being different caused me an immense expansion in my ability to love, release the disease of judgmentalism, be far more compassionate, and open my eyes to Truth. God has blessed me beyond compare. GBU & TYJCY.

[@ganmaxmo1]

Elaine Marie congratulations!!! Don't worry about the negativity of others. They don't understand the lifestyle. I am 100% straight but I fully support gay rights. You have to what is right for you. We each have our own relationship with God and no one else can say anything different. Let them say what they must. You are living for you. The world is full of too many people who quote the Bible and what they believe, but it doesn't have to be what you believe. Continue being you!! 🌈😃

[@TeanerellaX]

My heart really goes out to Mary, she seems so lonely, sad and lost. Kody hesitated on the seperation/divorce question! I'm not here to judge anyone's life style... but how attentive can 1 person be to 4 wives and 18 children??? When you are spreading yourself that thin certain people are going to suffer... meri and janelle have both said they feel isolated and that they don't get enough attention... and what a coincidence they are his 1st and 2nd wives! He is like a child... he gets tired of his toy he wants a new one!

[@Bess1201]

Don't think he did, as he said "I'm not going to leave" - which for me sounds, unspokenly, like, "but Meri is free to leave" So he basically said this family will go on with him definitely, with or without Meri

[@tieiatalks]

Bess1201 they live close to me and a close friend of mine is close to the family. It’s sad what Meri is going through.

[@MommyCassReborns]

I agree with you about Mary I feel so sorry for her. And with the problems with Mary I don't think Cody should have taken another wife even if he loved her BECAUSE he needs to work it out with Mary and to try to give her extra TLC. So sad Kody and her agree it's not a loving relationship.

[@GurlProblemz]

It's crazy how much your life changes when you go to college and outside the bubble of your family. Especially if you are sheltered. I remember before Mariah went to college, she was one of the most religious of the kids and says she wanted to be in a poly relationship.

[@Ksklarge1]

GurlProblemz my brother did the same thing. that kid slept with a bible at night. he was trying to run so far from who he was. at 18 he started college and it was only a few months in when he came out. it really wasn't a shock. all his friends were girls, he never brought home a girlfriend, he was obsessed with fashion and having the latest styles, and was flamboyant. now he is 25, serving our country in the air force and happily married to a nice guy.

[@readingswithjenna9714]

GurlProblemz Yup. That's what happens when strict parents keep their thumb over their kids abd keep them under constant brainwashing. Eventually, the kids see what the real world is like. There's a reason the duggers are never encouraged to go to college.

[@OoOMonkeyCoFreakOoO]

Lol, she probably wanted to be in a poly relationship because there would be more ladies then guys. The idea of sharing a husband was probably never an issue since he would have to split his time making it easier for her to end up closer to a female wife.

[@monicaraesmith]

She looks so much happier Im glad she came out!! On another note I LOVE JANELLE !! She is the realist out of the wives and she works and pays bills too. lol

[@andybee1381]

Growing up Mormon (but not the polygamist kind), I think this girl is very brace for speaking up, and I'm very glad that her parents are mostly accepting. When the dad said that he felt it was God's job to judge and his job to love, that's the reaction all Christians should have when their kids come out as gay.

[@xxEsterr]

R C She has legally divorced Kody, since he needed a legal marriage with Robin in order to adopt her kids.

Yes I know that. I should of said she should leave him. I haven't watched for probably two seasons now but I was watching when she got the divorce and I always thought she divorced him cause she wasn't happy.

[@awkwardathena434]

Of course the first wife has the most trouble with the other wives, she knows what it's like to be the only wife, she knows what it's like to be the only one getting the attention that a wife gets, she may have been supportive of the other relationships but I doubt that's what she wanted, I also doubt that she had much of a say in the matter even if Cody would have respected her decision it's likely that she went along with it because she didn't want to loose her family.

[@andrealove7758]

Good for Mariah!! I'm thankful that her family still supports her. Being gay is not a choice. I don't understand people who treat it like it is a choice. Being born gay is something that just happens and it tends to happen to amazing people.

[@duckieroberts4033]

videogal the second you have a child you get this feeling of unconditional love, nothing your child does will ever make you stop loving that child, your love will be stronger than any other feeling you have. Besides, if you truly are so devout to following the bible, you'll know that depending on which version you read the word love is mentioned 300-500 times, as opposed to judge which is mentioned around 100 times. it's clear God wants us to love and not judge. I personally feel we all fall incredibly short and are in absolutely no position to judge anyone

Mel River it depends on the mother. Janelle really is supportive in that way since if she wanted, she would just leave

[@AllisonLinner]

As a mormon (LDS) this pisses me off. @ 1:36 when Cody calls himself "mormon," that's truly wrong. He's FLDS, and oftentimes actual mormons get confused with this cult. It is, without a doubt, a cult. As an actual mormon I'm disgusted at her biological mom's and Cody's behavior. I believe people are born gay. For them to say that they "never saw it coming," just shows that a) clearly they haven't paid enough attention to her, probably because cumulatively they have 18 kids. It's really not hard to tell if someone is gay or not, generally speaking. It really pisses me off and pissed me off when her biological mom said "now I have to mourn the loss of the life we thought she would have." I don't like swearing but bitch you shouldn't mourn anything, celebrate that your daughter was brave enough to come out to you probably knowing your reaction. I was really happy though when that one sister wife (the blonde one, sorry I don't know her name,) said right after "whew I thought you were gonna tell us you had cancer!" Even though it wasn't her biological daughter, she behaved maturely and got up and hugged her. Good on her. Sorry for the rant, I'm just very passionate about this.

Allison Linner They aren't FLDS, they're AUB. There are dozens and dozens of Mormon polygamist groups and yes, most of them consider themselves to be Mormon. Historically speaking, the LDS church has been the one to shy away and drop the name. It wasn't until recent years that mainstream Mormons started using the name again, so you can't really be pissed off. This is coming from a Mormon who grew up a few blocks away from BYU. 😉

[@brittanyhm]

Allison Linner And he straight up says "fundamentalist Mormon" that's what the LDS church calls them, too. They ARE fundamentalist Mormons and I think you might be surprised at how similar they are to our church in theology and culture.

[@melindafox8337]

All Mormons are in a cult no matter what anyone says lol it's fact

[@cgravy1248]

Mormonism is a cult. PERIOD. It is a fantasy based on "religion" and it is not ok. And yes, I was born and raised in the thick of it in the middle of it all in Utah. Joseph Smith lied and you are a fool for still believing his lies.

[@patriciaorsborn7165]

I'm honestly amazed at how accepting the parents are. I don't know why, I just am. I suppose that I'm not thinking rationally, since the parents preach acceptance for their lifestyle so I should not really be surprised. Oh well, it's something that changes how I felt about this family and if the hugs and kindness and acceptance they're showing the daughter is true and not just for the camera, then wow, awesome, they're not as bad as I imagined.

[@majkstrand6332]

That reporter is gorgeous! What is her name? He says a name in the begining, Avy Voudrois(??), but i can't find anything when i search that name.

[@madameovaries]

I love how her own mother is just sitting there while the other mother Robyn got up and hugged her. But I do like what Cody said.. he's right it's not his right to judge. That's his daughter, it's her life and she has to live it. She's doing the right thing and living the way that she wants to. 💙

[@FlabbyDouglas]

RHDS her mom has a right to take time to process her feelings. She has the right to feel sad and be authentic instead of pretending to be overjoyed.

[@marycanary86]

gah came here with the biggest lump in my stomach worrying about her.. im glad it worked out ok for her with her family

[@cllmda]

No one is really happy but no one dares say it😿...

[@sharonabraham5207]

Two unhappy deceitful people.

[@hunter-uu7us]

shouts out to ysobel for making that "i wondered who would be" comment lmao

[@patcavasin5947]

not sure why people feel the need to air all this publicly, although I applaud their acceptance.

[@AwesomeisHaleigh]

she has auburn hear, short nails, a nose ring, and is wearing a flannel.... how did they not even remotely suspect she was gay? like seriously she is out their looking like the epitome of wlw culture and they are absolutely shocked that she likes girls

[@jayfaisa6016]

*"I'm a polygamist"* .... My Niggah *I'm Gay* .... Gtfo of here!

[@Mabeylater293]

Just remember, the biblical patriarchs had multiple wives, and even in the New Testament, they were never condemned or asked to leave all but one of their wives.

[@jazz123214]

TruAgape1234 That was then this is now. It's been illegal for quit some time now.

[@onelastchance648]

Is nothing sacred in families anymore? How sad!

[@calumbrooknicolson]

What Would You Do? brought me here.

[@omgitstracey]

Meri deserves a husband of her own.

[@IcedReality]

"you love, I'll judge" That's good.

[@bellstar1091]

At the end of the day she is your flesh and blood she is still your daughter. Support her no matter what.❤

[@lex5016]

I'm so happy for her for having the courage to come out, and I'm very glad that it went so well. ❤️

Isnt this illegal? Being married to multiple women?

[@jessicaemilia101]

My mother is very religious and we could not be further apart on prominent social issues. Still, not one day has gone by where I have doubted her love. She has always supported me while still being honest about her beliefs. I can respect that and respect this family for role modeling this approach. Meri...girl do you.

[@ChristSaves88]

Meri and Kody was stunned because she always said she wanted to be in a polygamist marriage.

[@somerking7040]

True unconditional love CAN'T be turned off ! There isn't 1thing my kids could do to make me stop loving them!! All I ever want is everyone alive ,healthy and happy!
