Adia,
There have been so many stories in the news about young kids committing suicide. It is so upsetting to hear about kids so young feeling so helpless. Many of these kids say bullying and non-acceptance is the reason why they just didn't want to live in this world anymore. I would say that a Mother's biggest fear, when it comes to her child, is having to bury him or her. I never want to do that. If your life ended, I think it would also be the end of my life.
Some of these kids were being bullied and were not being accepted by their peers, teachers, and even their parents because of their homosexuality. As a Christian, I do believe what the Bible teaches and the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin. But the lines between right and wrong when it comes to homosexuality are getting more and more blurred for me. I won't get into the 'deep stuff' yet. I know this will be a really confusing discussion to have in the years to come, but I don't believe anyone should ever be that hated by society to where committing suicide is a better option than living.
Some Christians are very hateful, verbally and physically, towards the homosexual population. I don't believe in using Christianity as a right to degrade someone. You have to put yourself in other people's shoes sometimes. I have thought, "What if it were my child that was gay and felt so hated?" It really opened my mind. You would never be without the support of your Mama. I would do everything in my power to make sure you know how important you are and how this world would be a horrible place if you were not in it. It's so heart-breaking to hear that a child's own parents refuses to give that child love because of their homosexuality. I would never reject you.
I just want you to know that no matter how you choose to live your life, you will always have your Mama's love. And if people throughout this life reject you and hate you, I will always try to find the pieces of your broken heart and make it whole again. I love you and you will always be my perfect God-given angel!
