They stood out because of their large number, as well as their very conservative wardrobe choices. Not using birth control and adhering to strict dress codes are part of their religious beliefs.

Those are your words, not those of 5:22.<br />The comment was that Gil's parents belong to a regular mainstream faith. The Bates abide by a doctrine that is not mainstream- from their stance on birth control to the clothes they wear. You can read negativity into a statement of fact if you wish, but that doesn't mean it was intended to be. Your comment about women with short hair/wearing pants looking like a man does come across as very negative.
