I Support Lgbt Youth

My daughter is gay. Maybe transgender.
I love her. I'm proud.
I'm a mother.
If you need to talk to a mother about your experience, I'm here.
Mothers. We don't bite, we just feel great fear for you as you embark on your lives. People are sick. You aren't.

I have a gay son. Ever since he was two I recognized the possibility that he might be gay. Twenty years later he has come out. People are born gay, they don't make a decision to be so, any more than straight people make a decision one day to be straight. We don't think any less of people that are born left-handed, nor should we of people that are born gay..

I know. My brother is gay. I played with his tanks, he played with my barbie dolls. He came out as a teenager. Our blended family parents had a mixed reaction. I knew he was gay before he told me. I knew my daughter was gay before she told me. She's gay. And so....? She's totally awesome. There is nothing I don't like about her. I fear for her, she is bold, someone is going to burst her bubble, break her heart. But she is who she is, which is awesome. Her soul is bright. She shines. Only a fool would try to bring her down because she happens to be gay. I sadly fear these souls, the "just" are so cruel to the "unjust". But I went to a pride weekend and thank the gods, there are many parents like you, like me, who admire the people our children are.
You are awesome Mr Walabby.
