I have three loving, giving, kind, sensitive, intelligent and wonderful kids. One is transgender, one is heterosexual and the other is gay. Should I love any of them less because of their sexual orientations and identities? Should they be treated with any less respect because of this aspect of who they are? The world is a better place because of my children. Imagine if people could accept them for who they are and not judge them using outdated standards. If we all open our hearts and our minds we will be able to appreciate diversity instead of being threatened by it.
Thank you so much for your story. I only wish the people that really need to hear this would take the time to. You're a great mother and I can only hope that you set an example that others pay attention to.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are a complete inspiration. Your kids are lucky to have you -- not everyone has parents who are as pround and understanding of their children's sexuality, and it is heartwarming to see your compassion and dedication to equal rights.
ReplyDeleteYou are a model parent.
