I have always been taught to love and be kind to my family. No hate should be necessary nor should violence. That is true and my family consists of a husband, wife, and their only child. A typical traditional family that has been grouped since the beginning of time, since this type of family has been around for a long time and some people point out, it's in the Bible, then it's the only right way to live.

It's not the only way to live. I grew up watching romantic comedies that show heterosexual couples having feelings for each other. I have not had feelings like they show in movies until it was an unrequited love but with a woman. I do understand my feelings well and that it was love and not just an admiration type.

Although, I look for someone with mutual feelings.

Telling someone's family or relationship is not right in their eyes because it's unnatural is absurd. No one should have a right to judge, yet everyone does.

Life is made for living, so everyone has the right to dream and make it happen. When people try to shame LGBTQ+ couples for adopting and having a family, they might get the questions or statements such as, "A child needs a mother and a father, not two mothers. It will confuse the child." This type of statement seems like the only right way to live is when a woman marries a man and have children. No, there is no right way to live. There is only a way to live.

Those who judge shouldn't be verbally abusive. If they don't agree then fine, but don't be rude about it. Or, don't even say what you think to an LGBTQ+ couple who has a family and tell them their family isn't valid.

Also, recently, I've read from a CNN article that adoption agencies can refuse same-sex couples based on religion or moral beliefs.

There are probably loads of LGBTQ+ couples who actually want to adopt and love a child, it might be what they have always wanted in life but they are being refused because of their sexuality.

Heterosexual couples get a pass on everything. Having a family, being able to profess their love in public, simply because it's the way of life. Well, we are in 2018 and it is the present. We are not living in the 1950's where same-sex couples hide their love for each other, instead, they want to be accepted and loved as they are. There is nothing wrong with that. It is a love, an innocent type of love, probably similar to young love.

The government should not interfere with people's lives like this. This is like saying, "We don't care if the LGBTQ+ are proud of their sexuality but they should not have a family." It's mind blowing how insensitive people can be. Even if a same-sex couple has children by adopting, it's not confusing a child if they are already gay. There are plenty of people who are LGBTQ+ that have heterosexual parents. I am not confused and people need to mind their own business.

Also, what happens if a child is in the LGBTQ+ community but is scared to come out to their heterosexual parents? Scared that they wouldn't be accepted or the parents might embrace them. What if the heterosexual parents are so homophobic that they might actually kill their child? Then this world would have lost a lovely soul. People need to think about their actions and how this could affect another person's life.

A child living with an LGBQ+ couple is no different than living with heterosexual couples because the connection is love. A family needs love and support in order to function properly.
