We should appreciate the beauty in the diversity. It would be a boring world, if every flower were the same shape, color, and size.

Very true. 🙂🌸
My parents were progressive with that, baptized catholic, they had friends of other religions, my father orphaned had a gay friend who I called “uncle” as well as afro-American friends. My best friend in high school was afro-American, my second best was Jewish. Ate in both houses and they in mine. I have 1 Caucasian grandson and 4 biracial grandchildren (2-sets of twins) I feel like I am back in 1968 after Dr King with my friends. I was blessed to go to a high school with such diversity. I do not see color, religion, or LGBTQ in my heart. I have had friends in all. My nephew who I thought was gay, finally came out and was proud of him. In my chosen profession, I chose and was honored to work in high risk poor neighborhoods-we all bleed 🩸 red, we all are here for a short time. I told my grandchildren to consider this “ why do Caucasian people” want a suntan? I try to see your ❤️. That’s who I am and I can emphatically state that.
That's very inspiring and uplifting. 🙂🌸
That’s me, and I was Truly Blessed to have that diversity in my youth, adult life, career life and now diversity in grandchildren-thank you
Yes, me too. It should not matter what colour, religion etc that you are, being a good person and treating everyone with respect is what matters. Our son's friend came out as being bisexual which didn't bother us in the slightest. He is still the same person and has always supported Mike as he has him. He is like another son to us. His Mum, brother and his family know but he can't tell his Dad because his Dad wouldn't speak to him again which I think is so sad.
Love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️🤗🌈💜
I got the message long ago. Ironically, my friend and valedictorian from high school was gay. I did not find out until as a community heath/visiting nurse, I saw his picture on my patients table. Sadly I heard he passed away from HIV-I wish he had trusted me with that, I guess he was not ready. I felt of course extreme sadness, his writing in my high school year book. Time goes by. Live and let live. Thank You
I know you will take care of him. And that’s special. So, you have an “adopted “ son and I like that-with respect and regards
Hi
He still stayed living with his parents until recently when he got his own place but he knows we will always be there for him. I am glad his Mum, brother and family are good with him. He's such s lovely person, his sexuality shouldn't matter.
Love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️💜
No it should not, we are here to be happy for a short time. I am glad you are there for him
Thank you xxxx
love the sun tan question... thanks for sharing some of your story
He was “spot on” and a smart man
I really feel for you, it must have caused you great sadness.
Thinking of you
All my love Lynne xxxx ❤️💜
Yes, it did. Life has to go on but remember those important in our life
You got it-take care, be well. Their may be a time he will tell parents and I know you will be there to support him-that is dignified and respectful
Thank you
I'm pleased his Mum, brother and family are ok with him but I'm sure he would love his Dad to be too but he knows his Dad would not speak to him again which is really sad.
My hubby works for him in a prison as a handyman, he loves it. Mike helped him get the job which we are eternally grateful for.
Love and hugs Lynne xxxx ❤️💜
When my nephew came out and told parents, of course at first upset. Both are super smart. I like both. His parents have accepted him and his partner. I am happy for them and glad his family put his life in perspective, with warmest wishes and respect-Bob
I'm so pleased they have accepted him. It must feel so much better knowing his parents are there for him
Take care and stay safe Lynne
I wish you the best, I know someone will be there, hopefully at some point he can tell his dad. I might tend to think if his dad would not come to terms with him, he might feel ashamed, rejection etc. Time will tell. Be well, with respect, Bob
Thank you. You too. Lynne
Yes I did tell that to my 4 biracial grandchildren. It doesn’t make sense does it
