Christians who are against homosexuality because of what it says in the Bible: what would you think of two boys or two girls who were in love/dating but never had sex? To my knowledge there are no verses against that in the Bible.

 

My daughter is gay and is also married to her partner for over 20 years now.

She was molested by her dad between the age of 5 and 8, I never knew this was happening. When her dad died she was 20 and felt safe in telling me. My heart broke knowing my baby held this secret all those years and feeling ashamed.

She explained that a young child doesn't know what is right or wrong. And whom better to love and trust with yourself than the persons that provide love and trust.

Once they learn that something isn't right, they either tell someone or stop it themselves, or never tell.

I'm not saying this was the reason she was gay, sure it didn't help in trusting men. The only man she trusted was her papa and finally after all those years of keeping her secret regarding her dad, she was hoping the next secret about being gay would be a hard one to share with her papa.

It was Thanksgiving and all the family had agreed to be together. We all lived throughout Calif. I was in a different room when my daughter set her papa down to talk about being gay. She loved him and feared hurting him. He believed everything the Bible spoke of.

Sitting in the other room she walk toward me trembling with the tears of a child, and told me her papa hated her.

With the information he told her, he wanted nothing more to do with her. He and my mom left. While comforting her I knew the drive home for them was a little over 2 hours.

I called the house and they had just arrived home. I ask to talk to my dad and I simple asked him what and who was your granddaughter before the moment he heard she was gay.

I said she was that tiny baby you held and showed off to all your friends and family the first visit to you. She was the little girl that sat next to you every place you sat.

She was the artist you enjoyed reading her poetry, performing on stage playing the cello, and teaching you how to paint scenery.

She was the one you rebuilt a 1969 Camaro for her first car and watched graduate from High school with a 4.6 gpa, University with her Masters before her 22 birthday.

You were the proudest papa. Your proclaimed # 1 granddaughter to everyone that knew her, until the moment she said she was gay.

Her love and respect for you never changed, she kept you on a pedestal. Nothing has changed in her toward you, all grown up she has made the right decision and always seeked you opinion.

Always loved you unconditional.

You now judge her life because she choose to share it with a woman.

She is my baby girl and Ive only want what makes her life and heart sing. She is my daughter, gay or not that's what will always matter.

My parents drove back to our home and papa asked for forgiveness. He learned that unconditional love is the greatest gift the lord gives and now papa understands.
