Softness,
I re read what i wrote and I didnt mean it to come out that way .. I meant it as they have an opportunity to help the children become spiritual and believe in God.. and they are throwing that away ..
I do not believe that children should be molded to breed hatred ... by any means..
My children are not religious at all.. The one time that they went to church with my sister the topic of the conversation was homosexuality and how it was a sin and yadda yadda yadda.. My daughter came home and said to me.. " I can not believe in something that does not accept you for who you are.. Why do they think that you are a bad person because you love who you love?"
I honestly couldn't answer that question to her because i was raised Roman Catholic all my life, i know how churches are I know how sometimes they spread hatred for people who do not conform to their ideals. It makes me sick to think that people can sit in judgement and feel that they are ok and will go on to better places in life.
Diva,
I am sorry that you had to go through that .. I came out when i was 16 it was in the 1990's, yes i ended up marrying my ex husband but i did it to conform and when i realized life was not that easy and that my feelings would not just vanish I had to do something. I can honestly say I do commend my ex husband for not using my sexuality against me. He could have done that but he didn't and I believe that our children are much better children for that. They have grown up in an environment that shows them that all people are different and that just because you may have a different race, ethnicity or sexuality it doesnt make you any less of a person.
I am glad that your daughter will be coming home to you ... May your days with her be filled with alot of love and laughter ...
