Love is Love

Dear girls,

Homophobia is real, and you should rebuke it – each and every time you encounter it.

There is a long debate about if gay parents should be allowed to adopt children.

Love is love. Gay parents will NOT harm children any more than straight parents will harm children. If gay couples are in a committed relationship where they respect one another, make children a priority, lavish them with love and teach them morals and values, then the parents and children will be fine. 

These children – if they are raised right – will grow up to accept all people from all walks of life. They will embrace and celebrate other people’s differences and be sympathetic and empathetic toward others. What jacks up children are absent, dead-beat, neglectful and abusive parents. 

Based on my experience, there are more absent, dead-beat, neglectful and abusive straight parents than absent, dead-beat, neglectful and abusive gay parents. One of my best friends is gay. She does not want children. However, if she did, she would be a phenomenal parent. I cannot say the same about many straight men and women. 

Fight for others and expect them to fight for you too.

Do the right thing. It’s easier than doing the wrong thing.

Auntie loves you!
