Comments on: My amazing gay moms http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2008/01/31/my-amazing-gay-moms/ Culturally Queer News and Views from Abigail Garner Sun, 07 Sep 2008 06:27:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: partially.out.lol http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2008/01/31/my-amazing-gay-moms/#comment-5281 partially.out.lol Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:47:26 +0000 http://damnstraight.oversampled.net/2008/01/31/my-amazing-gay-moms/#comment-5281 Yay Jessica! I feel the change coming too. Just have to push a little further. Shana - your family is "less than normal"? as if being normal is all that fun. After you guys find your feet after the divorce you will most definitely be much more than normal. I think being gay definitely has a huge impact on the way someone develops. We shouldn't forget this in the spirit of PCness. I found that finally coming out (even if gradually and partially) gave me such power over my own life, I can hardly imagine who I would have been had I stayed closeted, or not have been closeted at all. My sexuality defines me - without a doubt. Here we grow! Yay Jessica! I feel the change coming too. Just have to push a little further.

Most people don't know. She recently came out and is in the middle of a divorce with my dad. But most of the time I just wish that everyone knew. Liking someone of the opposite gender doesn't make you a good person and liking those of the same person doesn't make you evil and doomed to burn in hell (and vise versa). What I am trying to say is your sexuality doesn't define what kind of a person you are. The only thing that you can learn from someone's sexuality is what type of a person has the ability to make them happy. I feel anger and sympathy towards those who write people off just because of their sexuality. They could be missing out on some really great and surprisingly understanding people. Their ignorance overrides their common sense and if someone that narrow minded believes that they have the right to judge people based off of something so personal like our sexuality, then they are the ones who truly deserve our sympathy (pity) My family is also a little less than normal, but that doesen’t mean I don’t love my family.My mother is a strong, caring, funny, wonderful person and she is also gay.
