Doing the Right Thing


It’s so frustrating if you don't know whether you’re doing the right thing.  There’s that emotion that says that you feel one way and another is telling you feel different.  Well I feel that a lot because I chose to stand by my Trans Mom when my uncle started to be prejudiced against her.  It meant me giving up seeing my cousins and my Grandma. It was one of the hardest things I had to do. They all come periodically up to see my birth Mom and my sister. Of course they want to see me and that means that I have to choose whether I see them or not.  I never know what to do, I miss my cousins so much and yet I am afraid that by seeing them my Uncle will think that everything is fine even though it isn’t.  Why do people like him force me choose while he fails to talk about why he is excluding one of my family members, my Trans Mom. It makes me so angry and upset and to think that there are so many other people who are getting hurt by people like that. I just keep hoping that it well get better.

Something happened recently, my cousin came out as been gay, I am so pleased that she has had the courage  to do so. I was scared that my Uncle  would not except her but he did except her. That is brilliant for her but it got me to thinking WHY didn’t he except my Trans Mom ?

Hi to all the LGBT community out there, don’t listen to those who say you are different in a bad way or class you as ‘freaks’.  You are all beautiful in different ways and don’t forget:

Love is louder than the pressure to be perfect
