That can happen with faith.
I mean, 1st of all, the parents weren't religious fanatics that long, they turned to it when sh*t hit the fan. The story made it sound like they turned to it over the past few years to bury their heads the sand..and their kids never called them on their crap prior to that moment.
2nd, it could have been the pastors nasty speech that woke them up since it goes against real Christian teachings. I mean, aside from the 10 commandments, there is not a hierarchy in sin. And the crap that "homosexuality" is the greatest sin goes againstthe Bible and Christian faith..it's having a false God's. I know personally as a lesbian, my family's pastor is what saved our relationship. They tried spewing similar crap to the pastor and he called them on it. He basically told them they were the sinners, acting as God and choosing to condemn their daughter and saying that's not what God or his followers are supposed to do, even if they believe someone is sinning. Today they don't agree with my sexuality, but they still love me and treat me and my partners with respect and love (even gave 1 a used car).
So that part of the story didn't bother me personally. I definitely could have done without the sm sister and the dusgusting political mom. But that didn't surprise me. This artist always includes weird stuff like that.
I was just happy he gave the main characters a healthy, stable relationship. That's more surprising for this artist.
I liked this overall art was amazing and the couple was cute but there is sm going on yet it is so short. Like the mom drops the fact that she killed her entire family and it is never touched upon. Also the religious parents get given 1 speech and suddenly 20 years of religious programming is gone. Kinda was rushed but I liked the whole arc with the vice chairwoman and her assistant.
