For reference, my family is very conservative, rural, and from a southern state. My parents are generally accepting of my brother, but neither sets of grandparents and very few of my extended family are. My parents are paying for the whole wedding, and think it’s wrong to use it as chance to make a “political statement”. They also think it will cause a lot of drama at the ceremony. I know my brothers boyfriend well, and wouldn’t be able to live with myself for excluding him. I’ve told them that if I can’t include him, then we’ll just have our own backyard ceremony, invite everyone, and let them decide if they want to come or not. Parents say if I take such drastic measures, I’m out of the will (brother already is). So reddit, AITA for this?
