It takes resilience, courage, and strength to stand up and declare you are different from the rest of the world, but that your difference makes you a brighter individual. So I value the coming out process because it changed my life for what has ended up being the better and I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had hidden who I am from the world. I learned that its okay to love who I love, and this is nothing to be ashamed about, because we are just human.
There has been a lot of (well-deserved) attention for Maurice Williamson’s wonderful speech in favour of legalising gay marriage in New Zealand, however I think Mojo Mathers also deserves recognition. She is New Zealand’s first deaf MP and she speaks so movingly about how her gay daughter will finally have the same rights as her straight sister.
I am a straight mother with 3 kids, 1 gay and 2 straight. I love them all equally and will always fight for their rights. This blog is a safe place and a place of support and acceptance for all. You will not ever find words of hate here. Mostly you will find LGBT supportive posts.
Life is too short to judge others... Try loving them instead!
