Who's the asshat in this scenario?
Today, my mom told me that I will never see my siblings again because I refused to attend her wedding to another woman. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom told me that she never wants to see me again because my family and I did not attend her wedding, which she wanted my youngest to be a flower girl to. I refused because this is her eighth marriage (that's right, 8) and she never learns. FML
Today, my mom told me to be my sister’s maid of honor at her wedding or I’m out of her will. She says if I don’t go, I’m being selfish, and she wants to see her “baby girls” bonding one last time before she dies. I would gladly go if my sister wasn’t marrying my ex-husband, who cheated on me with her. FML
Today, it seems my mom didn’t believe me when I told her multiple times I was not going to my nasty bitch sister's wedding. Then she acted surprised and outraged when, shocker, I didn’t go, and has been leaving me texts and voicemails for over an hour. FML
Today, my whole family turned on me because I absolutely refused to attend my son's wedding, even though he really wanted me to walk him down the aisle. He married the woman he cheated on his ex-wife with, and abandoned their kids. That's why I refused to attend. FML
Today, I got married and my mom refused to be there because my dad, whose guts she hates, was there even though I promised repeatedly that I would keep them apart. I couldn't do the mother-son dance. She keeps insisting that it was a "lapse in judgment." Yeah, like we're really going to be able to have a do-over. FML
Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML
Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML
Today, I’m supposed to be a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, but she doesn’t want me in the photos because I’m over a foot taller than her and the other bridesmaids, and it will look silly in the photos. I told her I won’t even bother attending, and mom actually took her side. FML
Today, my parents told me they won’t be attending my wedding, all because my fiancée is the woman I cheated on my ex with and left her for. What they fail to understand is that people and hearts change. It wouldn’t be fair to remain by my ex’s side while being in love with someone else. FML
Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML

Grow up and respect her freedom to love who she loves, or you’ll be lost to her

Did you grandstand and make a big "holier than thou" fuss? Barf. You could have just quietly not shown up and not made it all about you.

I'm sorry your mom is threatening to cut you off from your siblings. it's not always easy as a kid when one of your parents come out and surprise you with changing their sexual preferences.

They don't "change" their sexual preference. They accept themselves for who they are instead of spending their life unhappy with a partner they cannot truly love or be happy with. If OP cannot accept that their parent (or any other person, for that matter) is perfectly normal to want to live with love, then they deserve getting cut off. The siblings can decide for themselves about OP once they are of age.

Nobody is saying they have to stay with a partner they don't love and be unhappy. And clearly they didn't. It is just dificult for some kids to see their parent go for the opposite sex when all their life they had traditional sex parents. Some people just need time to get use to change. Sit down, explain the situation. Tell them, "I know it's a lot for you to take in now, but with time you will see this is who I am and I will always love you. I will be here when you are ready to talk. Not, "You didnt come to my wedding, You're homophobic! I'm going to cut all contact from your siblings with you!" Wow so mature. But yeah, call them homophobic or bigot and tell them to die alone. Yeah that will show them how loving and inclusive the lgbt community is, well done.

Let bygones be bygones, and let bigots be lonely.

I'm wondering why she is also not cutting ties with an homophobic member of the family
