Hello Cynthia,
I apologize for the invisible message you may have gotten from me..it was very early in the am and I thought I sent it along okay...but that wouldn't be the first time I "thought" I did something! :o)
I had wanted to touch base and let you know that I totally support your blog and it breaks my heart to know that there are parents out there in this day and age who still have such misconceptions and unrealistic expectations of their children.
We are supposed to be the ones that give them unconditional love regardless of the sexual identity they have chosen. I have three daughters and love them all with every bit of my heart and soul and not one atom of that love would ever change regardless if they came home with a girl or a boy....I appreciate your wise words and I hope many folks on this site have taken the time to read and learn...
Take care Cynthia and have a marvelous evening!
