My Mom is guest posting for me this week (yes, my mom. Why? cause she’s awesome) while I am at BlogWorld. Here is her post on the movement close to my heart “It’s OK to be gay”:

Let’s see, we have street gangs that shoot to kill other people.

Then we have churches and politicians vocally calling homosexuality an aberration of nature.  That gay people CAN change.  And through speeches and sermons and actions that is drummed into a child’s’ head from a very early age.

It is painful to realize that you’re different.  That you’ll never get your family’s acceptance if you tell them the truth.  And most gays know from a very early age, 10.11, 12 or earlier that they are different than what is being taught at home, on the playgrounds, in the churches and schools.

It is so much easier to some people to end the pain, the rejection, the ridicule.

As far as I’m concerned the churches and politicians are the biggest bullys of all.  They lead the pack.  They teach their minions that’s it’s okay to make fun of, beat to death (remember Matthew Shepherd?), hurt other people simply because the bullys perceive them to be gay.  When will decent people say enough?

Stop passing laws that says people are inferior and can’t live  the same as you (talking to you, military) because they are different than you.

It’s time for YOU to discuss this issue with your children.  Bullying and hating are not acceptable.  Because I’m different than you.
