When family traditions become sources of division

Our family has Sunday dinners every week where we've always said grace, but since my brother came out and left the church and my parents are struggling with it, the prayer time has become this tense silence where everyone's pretending everything is fine. We all want to keep gathering but nobody knows how to bridge the gap between honoring our traditions and honoring each other.
