For many years, I did not understand the LGBTQ community because I really didn’t know anyone who was gay. Our family lived in a “church world” that quietly denounced the gay community.
Ironically, after college, our younger son came out. My husband and I struggled to understand, praying and pouring through scripture and this is what God taught us: Love is Love. Whether it is God’s love for each of us, our love for Him or our love for each other, love is the most important part of life. How we love others is what really matters, not who we love.
I know that many of you have not walked in my same shoes, or even beside someone who is gay. Your heart will be changed if you do. But don’t take my word for it, get to know someone from the LGBTQ community. Love is Love.
Blessings,
