If Gay People Go To Hell That's Where I Want To Be

If gay people "go to hell" and all of the hard-core Christians, Muslims and others who believe gay people are sinners go to heaven then I believe hell is the better place. In fact -- when I arrive at Judgement Day -- I'd ask God to let me go there, too. Why? As a straight woman who, like Prez. O, has evolved and learned by observing gay friends/associates over the years, I honestly see more of them showing character in the face of hate (oooh, some of those fathers who've disowned their boys!) and true love towards their partners than many straight women who use men for money or straight men who truly believe it's O.K. to cheat on a wife because, hey, "a man will be a man." As for what people do in the bedroom: Tons of straight folks do everything gay people do and tons of gay folks are celibate and/or particular about what they will and will not do with someone they love as are straight folks, so I truly don't get all the drama and hate with gay sexuality but maybe that's just me. In closing. My inspiration for this post. Just a few minutes ago, a gay friend shared this loving note about his partner (also a friend). I hope any of you who still think gay people are sinners and need to be "fixed" read this. I also pray it may open your heart to loving all humans as your equal, created by God -- because he wanted them here on earth just like he wanted you here on earth-- something my Bible scholar mother, Gloria Reeves Poe (RIP), always taught me. Peace. ___________________ "11 things 1. This was the actual day that we said "I Do" for the first time. We have actually been throw 3 of them. Thanks Supreme Court! 2. I wrote my vows 3 months after meeting and held on to them until we actually said I do. 3. We talked for almost a year before actually meeting in person. Remember when yahoo chat was a "thing" 4. We are technically still on our 3rd date. We met at Burkharts for the first time with friends and I knew I wanted to take him out. I called and asked him to Fire of Brazil. A few days later I went to his place to hang out, I cooked dinner and we watched HGTV for 6 hours. That was Saturday. I moved in the following Wednesday. 5. I could not swim before we met, though I am from the beach we never did. He taught me to swim. He gave me a sideeye when I said "black folks don't swim. ". He then threw me in a pool. 6. We have moved 9 times, 4 of those cross-country moves. In every house there has always been a "kids" room ( just in case 😉) 7. I designed tattoos for him ( before him I was "ok" with tattoos) now I love a sleeve and will do something strange for some change for a hot tattoo. 8. We first tried to adopt a year after we got married. We have actually had over 5 failed attempts of surrogacy and adoption. 9. We almost moved to Alaska 10. When he is home we spend all our time together. This is because he travels so much when he is in town, we spend all our time together. 11. If I had to do it all over again, I would marry him over and over and over. But seriously, 3 is enough. I'm gay but that is just WAY too much party planning."
