I'm trying to keep my mouth shut. It's really, really hard. I shouldn't be reading comments from people filled with such hate, ignorance and non-acceptance. I'm talking about the judgement about marriage equality.
People say it's a sin, an abomination, ect. Folks are putting signs up on their storefronts saying they will not serve gay people (thanks for letting us know where not to shop!), resigning from their jobs because they don't wish to give marriage licenses to people that want to get married that are the same sex.
Well, that's fine for them. I am tired of reading headlines about this because it is so hurtful. I am a sensitive soul, and when people hurt other people, I feel it.
I am proud to be the mom of a gay son. I am so thankful that he was born to my husband and I. We love him unconditionally and are so proud of him. I always wanted a gay best friend and my friends at work used to tell me (when he was little and I knew already) that they thought I would be disappointed if he wasn't gay (well, kind of!). I hope and pray (yes, I am also a Christian!) that those hateful people don't have a child or grandchild that is gay and can't be themselves because their family is totally against it. That would be a sin.
I always want to remind people who Jesus actually hung out with. He accepted everyone. I realize that he may not have liked their choices, but he was full of love.
To all those people judging everyone, I must say that it must be exhausting! Trolling the internet, making ugly comments then adding bible verses. Ugh.
I could go on and on, but I think I feel a little better getting that off my chest. And I should be getting off the internet so I don't read any more negative comments. Thanks for listening, and I am truly very happy that anyone who wants to share their lives together and receive the same benefits as everyone, can finally realize that dream come true.
