LGBT

. . . and our personalities-- an immaterial thing, some people just can't break through the notion that it is a choice.
But that young woman, and every other single person on this planet, didn't choose to be born gay or straight any more than any person chooses to be born Black or White or red-headed or short.

I know that I'm preaching to the choir here, but it is just so hard to be a human these days and we need to stop making it harder for people to be true to themselves.

I'm going to quote the singer, Jewel, now, (who is a far from the Rap genre as you can get, I guess.)

"In the end, only kindness matters."

If a parent can't find that wellspring of kindness for their own child, why should we afford them the courtesy of listening to their story?
