orthodox christianity on LGBTQ+?
Headcrab Zombie:
Pretty much all major religions (or at least the three Abrahamic religions) are super anti-lgbt
If you look at the history of LGBT rights movements, religion has been pretty much the only force driving against it
That said, although the group may feel one way, no one can predict what one individual person's stance or motives are. You're description of what he's doing is pretty vague so we don't really know much.
Maybe he feels like you've changed a lot and just needs to get to know you? What "tone" are his "questions in an odd tone"? Hateful? Curious? Confused?

why do you care what he thinks. just ignore him. that's what I'd do if any of my family gave me a hard time

mmm I'd say there's no harm in letting your grandpops talk to you, it could be humiliating and a waste of time, but it might make him feel like he's doing something good. If he's negative just ignore everything. Live your life the way you want to.

that's not a very equivalent exchange. you should never humiliate yourself*, and certainly not for the sake of allowing someone else to feel good about doing something bad
*unless it's a special interest thing I guess but that's obviously not the case

Of course not, but plenty of religious people seem to think it is
