An article was posted last week which had a lot of feedback; good and bad. It was an article that in my personal opinion; was not only offensive but, completely disrespectful as well. The article went over how the author's child is not allowed to be transgender because God did not make people that way, and blah blah blah blah. To me, it is completely insane that some will actually choose to not love and accept their child because they have misinterpreted the Bible.
First, God makes no mistakes right? Right. So, that means members of the LGBTQ community are not mistakes. There goes the first argument as a whole.
Secondly, The Pope accepts the LGBTQ community and he is the closest to God. If the man who is closest to God says that this is normal and okay; why are you still not accepting it? Why do you believe that what God has said to the Pope is wrong? You are not a better person because you believe your interpretation of the Bible is the best.
The idea of "God did not make people this way" is completely invalid therefore your opinion stems straight from one thing; fear. When one does not understand something, they tend to degrade and hate that thing. Yet, instead of hating something because you do not understand; why don't you simply continue to not understand and just accept it or learn about it so you can possibly understand. Even so, how someone is living their life is not affecting you so you are not entitled to judge it.
Shouldn't your main concern for your child be happiness and health? When you have a child aren't you supposed to love the child unconditionally? Everyone says when the baby is born that they do not care about anything as long as the baby is happy and healthy; yet that all seems to change when they know they are not in the right body or they love someone of the same sex. You are choosing hate and fear over your child. You are choosing judgement over your child. Your child is still your child; it is still the baby you carried for nine months and it is still the baby you gave birth to. The child does not change from being your child when they are gay or transgender. You are just deciding that you care more about judgement of others than your own child.
My child will be able to love whoever they want to love. My child can be whatever they want to be. My child can be whatever gender they feel they are. I do not care about what or how my child is living their life because what matters is how happy my kid is. I know that my child will be much happier living life accepted and loved than hated and trying to be "fixed" because you think it is a disease. Learn to love unconditionally or do not have children. Simple as that.
