Mary Lou Wallner
Mary Lou Wallner rejected her daughter for being gay, and lost her to suicide. Mary Lou was a devoted Christian follower of Dr. James Dobson, who insists that homosexuality is an abomination. After her daughters suicide, Mary Lou reinterpreted her bible, word for word, and has made it her life long quest to teach more tolerant and loving Christian attitudes toward homosexuality so that no parent will ever reject their gay child, and have to suffer the tragic lose she has suffered.
