The last chapters of Oranges are not the only fruit

after reading Joshua and Judges, its interesting to me as to why Jeanette mother is not accepting her daughter for being lesbian. Isn't any mothers happiness is when they see their child happy? why is it such a problem that her daughter is lesbian ? and i don't understand why she makes a whole big deal about it to the church and she needs saving and what not
and another thing, how is it that other people are going to pray for to repent for your sins ? it don't work that way ? if you do a sin its on you, its between you and god, you gotta repent you have to ask for forgiveness you have to show god why your sorry for this sin etc.
yes the pastor is doing his job to help this girl repent but she keeps on saying no no no, like im not understanding why he's still trying?
and whats its the church business that Jeanette is this way. Another example how they get involved in everything, mind your own business, let the girl be with who she wants to be with no?

One thing i didn't quite get. Jeanette says that she really loves Melanie right, and im pretty sure Melanie feels the same way, so how is it that Melanie got married to a solider ?

And another thing i dont get, why isn't the church getting on Mrs Jewsberry case for sleeping with Jeannete ?? shes doing a sin too ?? why is it that they dont know about that

And this orange demon thing, this little thing comes into her life, which i feel Jeannete is defiantly hallucinating with that part but then again he throws her a brown pebble which questioned my thought on the hallucination...
