"But I'd love to see heterophobic paranoid gay family members rejecting and shunning Christians, cos that's much more my reality"

Homosexual people are people and as a group no less capable of collective bigotry than anyone else.

Most potential family members in the gay death bed scenerio you describe would be atheists or agnostic (that's the current religious make up of most of this country at the moment) but the scenario of a gay family rejecting a Christian lover is an unlikely one simply because gay families are so rare.

You could have a storyline where a dying gay father's partner rubs up against his Christian son or daughter but such a case a health worker would take the father's view first as a patient and the child's request second (unless there is a civil partnership in there somewhere which are becoming more common place but still aren't the norm in the gay community).

It's a storyline that would take a lot of special circumstances to be plausible.

The gay lover turned away by the religious family (not just Christian) is a scenerio which still happens everyday in the real world without the need of a complicated and rare dynamic woven into the story (even if there are only so many ways that such a story can be told without beating the audience over the head with a generalisation).
