It’s never too late to change

My son told me he was gay a few years ago, shortly after which my daughter also came out. I thought having two gay children was some sort of punishment, had I failed them in their upbringing? What had I done to deserve this? I turned them away as it all proved too much for me to handle. Months and years went by with little or no contact and I was deeply upset.

One day the subject came up in conversation with a new friend who was telling me about her gay son, she helped me understand that it had nothing to do with me, that I was hurting my children more than society or anyone else ever could, that I should embrace them and their sexuality and together we would find happiness.

I apologized to my children and asked for their forgiveness and we have cultivated our relationship ever since. I am old fashionecd and set in my ways but I have learned to change, you can too!

Love without borders

There are too many people who can’t love the one they want. Romeo and Juliet were in the wrong families, many people are in the wrong religion or have the wrong beliefs.

Why can’t a man love another man? Or a woman love another woman? We should all be allowed to love who we want to love. Simple as.

Couple of my all time favourite quotes:”I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should. I will not hide my tastes or aversions.” – RalphWaldo Emerson”Live the life you want, and need not the one everyone expects you to, just because it’s easier on everyone” - UnknownSender:: Aubs/28/UK

Love know no gender, race or color.
