Lately the big topic of discussion has been the "gay" issue. for me it's not an issue, I'm not gay, and I won't try to be cliche and say I have gay friends, cause I don't. I had a Gay professor once, I liked her she was good at teaching. I do know this one gay man who sometimes helps my Dad, I like him, we have had some great conversation about shoes!
But recently, the discussion came up in my own house hold because of a song: Same Love, has anyone else heard this song? Oh the controversy!!!! Personally I love the song. I think it's absolutely beautiful. But I digress... my 13 year old loves this song. And my 20 year old wondered if it was okay that I let her listen to it. I thought for a second and said, I would rather allow her to listen to things that the "normals" label as wrong then allow her to be a homophobic. The 20 year old said, " your a good mom". even though that made me all warm and fuzzy inside I still haven't been able to get the conversation out of my head.
See my children know what I believe. They know that I believe that Jesus came and died for my sins, because I am a sinner, every single day of my life I am a sinner, I am the living, breathing, walking, talking (like a sailor), reason a savior is needed! That being said I wonder, who am I to judge? isn't there enough hate in the world without me adding to the masses? Not that I am overly important, but apparently I do have some influence on the little humans I have brought into this world, and I don't anyone to judge my humans, on how they look, speak, act, or how they chose to live, so why would I do it to someone else just because I'm not gay?
Here is the bottom line of my opinion on this "issue", ( and why is it an "issue"?) I am only responsible for myself, I am not Christ, I am not any less of a sinner because I happen to like men, and I am FAR from perfect. If two men want to get married, what the hell do I care???? How is it hurting me or my family if my neighbors happen to be two women?
Oh I know, I'm going to get hated on because I am now "tolerant" and "gay lovin" , and how on earth can I profess Christ as my savior when it clearly states in the good book and gay is WRONG???? Well, here's what my pierced, tattooed ass has to say about that...you all better be perfect. because in my life experience I have learned that those who protest the most about something usually have something to hide.
There is enough hate in this world, and this life is too short to spend it hating someone for something I have no control over, and when my time comes and I have to meet my maker, the last thing I want to talk about is why I spent so much of my life hating his people instead of loving his people.
That's my humble opinion, love it or leave it, but there is always more then one way to look at things.
