6 Inappropriate Things You Should Never Say To A Sister Of A Lesbian — From A Dedicated Christian

I am a Christian, I go to church, I attended a Christian college, and I have given my life to Jesus. I also have a lesbian sister, and I am completely supportive of her and everyone else. The following are real things that have been said to or asked to me and are totally inappropriate.

1. How can you love her if she is sinning?

Well, she is my sister so loving her isn't even a question. If the Bible is called into play, Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

2. She is going to Hell/ She is a sinner.

Well, not that it is anyone's business, but my sister is also a Christian (see No. 3) and has been saved, so she isn't going to hell. Aren't we all sinners?

We are all fallen people (Thanks Adam and Eve) who must seek out forgiveness from the Lord. Each one of us sins at some point in our lives, and I believe that one sin isn't worse than another.

3. How is she a Christian? Christians don't believe in that "lifestyle."

Again, her "lifestyle" is between her and God; it is not your concern. Who says she can't believe in Jesus?

4. I can't be friends with you if your sister is gay.

That's OK, I understand. I also don't need that kind of negativity in my life.

5. Are you sure she is a lesbian?

That isn't a question for me, but yeah, that is what she has told me, so I'm sure. If you really want proof for yourself, go ask her.

6. Why would someone choose to be gay?

I have the same question; would you choose to be LGBTQ with all the hate in the world? That is why I believe you are born that way, but it is OK if you don't believe that.

These are just some of the conversations I've had with people who weren't really sure if they were supportive of the LGBTQ lifestyle or not. I have come to accept my sister and how she lives her life.

I understand that some people don't accept LGBTQ people and that is OK, but there are some statements and questions that should just be kept to yourself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
