THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
for those who got the law passed, those who supported this goal, and especially those who fought for love when it came to this
i don't care if you are straight, bisexual, polysexual, pansexual, androsexual, transgender, and all the others that are that.... you deserve to be with the one you love no matter who they are
why do you even care, cass? you may ask
no, me being pansexual is not the only reason for me supporting. even if i was straight i would still support this.
this hits closer than home
my dad and mom divorced when i was quite young, though they still get along quite well
my dad and mom both know they are deeply in love with each other, but they knew it wasn't in a way of being together
my mom later met a woman around her age. they became close friends. they went out to parties and lunch together, spending as much time together as they could
time and time passed by and my mom found herself falling head over heels for this woman
honestly she was scared to take that chance. not just because of what was going on about the news of the constant struggle people who wanted to be with someone many other people always didn't agree with
she often said it had to do with family
she knew her side supported her, but she was scared to find out what my dad and his side of the family would think
she was scared to be shunned by them and to have to deal with conflicts between everyone
she was scared for me. the news was plastered with things such as children of same sex parents being bullied by their peers and harmed. she had heard about the violence and self harm many of them had went through.
i knew she never wanted that for me. i was so little back then, all i understood about my parents was that i had a mom and dad. that's what it was going to be like forever.
my family often brings up the stories of how my mom would try to push the feelings she had for the woman away. she failed.
her soul, her heart, her ability to love was aching for the woman
when my mom finally found the courage to tell my dad, he was shocked at first but then accepted it
he loves my mom that i know. all he wants for her is happiness.
my dad eventually told his side and just like him, they opened their hearts to my mother
i am so grateful for the law of same sex marriage being legal. i am grateful for my dad and my two moms.
this woman has not only let my mom into her heart but me also. she loves me like i am her own, scratch that, i am hers.
i love my mom (mommy) and mama very much
