Parents of LGTB, Don't Lose Focus
Parents of LGBT, don't lose focus
Let's stay focused on our job as a parent.
I have joined some LGBT Parents groups and I have been thinking of how needing to protect our children from others has lead us to misunderstand our job as a parent. Yes, there is a lot of hatred against this community, but through history, there has been always hatred against other groups: overweight, disabled, race, religion, you name it, and our children are not the exception. Back in the 80s when the world started to learn about HIV, it was a worldwide earthquake! Take a look at them now, take a look at your LGBT friends, how are they doing now professionally, in their overall lives? Look at Ellen Degeneres, a strong lesbian; she did not have all the support our children have now. They are doing well, because though they had to hide and were terribly judge by society, they also had to build up their character and face many things by themselves, hidden from the society.
