Whoa is me… where did I go wrong… what the hell did I do to deserve this???? Wait a second… maybe it will all be just fine. After all, I do have a couple of straight friends and my parents are straight. They all seem to be pretty decent human beings.
Seriously people… I think it is absolutely hilarious when people find out that I am a Lesbian. The first words are usually something akin to… "Oh, My uncle is gay" or "I had a friend in High School that was gay" or even better yet, "I am totally okay with you being gay."
To that I would have to say… who gives a shit if you have a gay friend, uncle, cousin, or that you are okay with it. I don’t recall ever referring to my straight friends or family members when I find out someone is straight.. LOL! That is until I started in with my smart ass comments when someone tells me that they have a gay friend when I tell them I am a Lesbian. Now I make sure to return their snippets… for example:
"I have a Lesbian aunt and I am completely okay with that."… my response… "Really? Well my parents are straight and I am completely okay with it!.
I guess… without getting on a high horse… what I am trying to say is that being Gay or Lesbian should just be normal… it shouldn’t just be a thing that we are "okay" with. I am not naïve… I know that there will always be a stigma and there will always be prejudices just like with people of other nationalities or races. I just hope that one day God will find a way to put peace in all of our hearts.
By the way.. I am so extremely proud of my son! It doesn’t matter to me what his preference turns out to be… I just need for him to be healthy, happy, and blessed.
Peace out people!
