Denying Children cause Parents are Lesbians

[Soft*Silver]

Diva..my stumach twisted in knots as I read your story. The young ones dont really know what it was like being a lesbian in the decades before computers. We were isolated from one another and had no support system. The mainstream culture made us invisible except to crucify us. We lost our children based on the hatred toward anything that wasnt white, heterosexual and part of the patriarchy.

I am so glad that your daughter is coming home. How incredibly wonderful for both of you!

And what a sorrow to have lost a child, so young, so unexpected. And shame on the man and the courts who kept you from her...

I believe in heroes, Diva. Quiet ones. Ones no one can see their capes or mask. They are the ones who fought to make changes, albeit involuntarily. Often by coercian and force. But they are nontheless, heroes. And you, my dear, made my list of heroes today...

from one lesbian mother to another...Softness
