I am glad for Christians like you and others, who truly live Jesus' teaching instead of burying themselves in self-righteousness, intolerance, and hatred towards people who are different. I hope that the attitude wll continue to change in favor of a happy life for everyone!Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-53351937318105785562013-08-27T16:48:28.030-07:002013-08-27T16:48:28.030-07:00As a Christian, I can honestly say I've been f...As a Christian, I can honestly say I've been frustrated and angered by the way the mainstream church continues to treat the LGBTQ community. It's ridiculous and embarrassing, frankly. There are, however, some glimmers of light among us and things are changing. Unfortunately, progress is slow. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355105095003482266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-63552576230208566922013-03-27T14:04:03.893-07:002013-03-27T14:04:03.893-07:00Thank you so much, Stacey!

You are a wonderful mom; I really cannot understand parents who turn away from their children when they don'T fulfill the parents' expectations in what ever way. I love my children, and of course I want them to be strong, successful women when they grow up. But most of all, I want them to be happy and feel good about themselves. All the best for your entire family! <br /><br />Anf THANK YOU so much for the award, I'm really honored!!Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-40049171695697864902013-03-27T13:04:04.242-07:002013-03-27T13:04:04.242-07:00Thank you so much for sharing!

My husband's best man at our wedding was gay and never got to marry his long-time partner, who unfortunately died a couple of years ago.

It doesn't matter if I agree with the way others live or not, but what matters is that I respect other life styles. In Germany, we have civil unions for same-sex couples, but they are still disadvantaged in comparison to opposite-sex "married" couples in terms of taxes and adoption. But why should kids rather live in orphanages than in loving homes? Doesn't make sense to me..Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-13864917234826640792013-03-27T12:57:29.025-07:002013-03-27T12:57:29.025-07:00First of all I will say that I am a Christian, but...First of all I will say that I am a Christian, but have learned about other faiths as well. I so so so totally agree you! I am the proud mom of an openly gay son, who is the light of my life...as are my other two lil monsters. LOL! He came out at the age of 15, even though I really knew it when he was three! LOL! Great post!<br /><br />You have been nominated!<br />http://thismommasramblings.blogspot.com/2013/03/honored-with-my-third-leibster.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008728154346045346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-4350372857974799672013-03-26T18:58:20.561-07:002013-03-26T18:58:20.561-07:00Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This matter is very dear to my heart, as I have two gay siblings, both who want to marry their long-term partners. Even as a christian person, I refuse to judge anyone who doesn't fit into what the bible says is natural, and I thank you for standing up and refusing to do so too.singlemumplusonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051328458409204822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-64551463321699188422013-03-26T17:31:28.657-07:002013-03-26T17:31:28.657-07:00I've seen alot of it today.

I just had to write this off my chest after reading the post of a supposedly Christian person on FB praying for the Supreme Court deciding in favor of "traditional marriage". If I was a Christian, I would pray for her home-schooled kids who probably won't have the chance to be exposed to alternative ideas for a long time; and I hope that it won't be too late by then.Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-73810082133448631542013-03-26T14:35:19.970-07:002013-03-26T14:35:19.970-07:00Thank you so much for posting this!!!! :-) I agree...Thank you so much for posting this!!!! :-) I agree with all of this.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.com
