Having Gay Children Is No Excuse Not To Celebrate Easter
How many parents out there do not look forward to spending special occassions with their family because one or more of their children are gay? They often do not feel like celebrating anything at all when they are obviously feeling crap. They often do not want to face up to the fact that their family is some what different to most.
Well, let me tell you that it does not have to be this way. We have been through the emotional rollercoaster of finding out you have a gay child and I can honestly tell you that it is really ok on the otherside.
We have just had a lovely couple of days celebrating Easter with our sons and their partners. It is funny how the ‘gay thing’ doesn’t even come into the equation any more.
We are first and foremost people who belong together as a family and our sexuality comes in at a very slow second. This to many of you out there may think will be an impossibility in your lives but that is far from the truth.
I believe we have control of our destiny to a certain degree and this also includes making decisions for our own happiness. Yes, my husband and I made the decision to be happy and enjoy our life and our children no matter what.
And when you think about it, who wants to live life in tears all the time or with hatred in your heart? Certainly not us, so we don’t. Instead we have fun. That includes celebrations such as Easter.
We have had a lovely time and I hope that you did too and if you didn’t then there will always be next year. Even if you have to work at it believe me it is worth it. Because there is nothing like loving your family and being loved in return.
