& we talk about sustainability
I merely wanted to start a conversation with you.
I just read this very touching story of how this mother loved her 2 sons even when she knew they were gay.
"I still wonder about the future. There seems to be too much reactionary religious influence that’s accepted by the policy-makers when they come up with policies. I believe that if gay couples have a commitment to each other, why shouldn’t we celebrate their love? Why not let them set up a family? Ming loves children, and he’s very good with his younger cousins, it would be a shame if he didn’t have kids – but the laws here wouldn’t let him adopt a child. People say, “Oh, we’re a very conservative society, and therefore we cannot do this or that openly.” But have we gone out and actually done a proper survey? Have we walked down the streets and actually asked people, “Would you react differently if you found out that someone’s gay?” I don’t think that people would worry too much. Gay people are people, just like gay children are still your children.
I want every parent to know that it really does get easier. The more you read and think and talk about it, the more readily you can accept it. It helps so much to be open about it, to speak honestly, just as they were honest and trusting enough to tell you about themselves in the first place.
Why be afraid of them? They really are still the same children that you loved the day before they outed themselves. And we will always love our children. That day, the day after, and every day after that."
Just the icing on the cake.
The article stretched for 4 plus pages on Word and I only took the ending.
I REALLY SHOULD BE SLEEPING NOW HAI.
But of course, I'm staying up to do workGP STUFF T.T
But I'm just going to sit on it for now.
NEED TO GO PACK MY TABLE AND MY BAG. EVERYTHING'S IN A MESS.
