OPEN LETTER TO THE PARENTS OF YOUR GAY CHILDREN:

As I’ve been looking through a few blogs that post picture of mostly guys showing LOVE like this one, I began to realize just how beautiful LOVE is, whether its two guys, two girls or one of each. Love Is Love! There are millions of us gay couples and many more single or “in the closet” gay folks that deserve to have LOVE in their lives, like anyone else. I mean look at this picture, it’s so beautiful! I was talking to a friend earlier today that is scared to death to tell his parents that he is gay. He is one of the most awesome guys I’ve ever met and his parents have no idea who he really is because of their hate of the gay community. Where do these parents think we come from? Yes we are the offspring of you, our straight parents! We are your kids that you gave birth to! Would have you ever even thought that you could turn your back on the child that was once the pride of your lives? Well we are that same person! Since coming out I have had the pleasure to meet many gay friends and have even found the LOVE of my life. I’ve never been so happy in my life as I am right now with him in my life and yes my parents supported me 100% and I believe that’s a big part of why i am who I am now. Isn’t that what you want for your kids as they grow up and look toward their future and be happy in their life? Please think about what you’re doing to your children by not being there for them. There are too many of your kids that are all alone, self harming or worse, committing suicide because they don’t have their parents to help them through this difficult part of our lives. If your child tells you he or she is gay, be there for them, they need you more now then ever before in their lives. These are your kids, show them the love and respect they deserve, and for gods sake, be there to protect them as you did when they were infants! You can help them become awesome gay adults or you can turn your backs on them, it’s up to you, but I say LOVE your gay children!!! I promise you, you won’t be sorry!  PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU AGREE WITH ME!

Now I see why so many followers loved my blog, I’ve been reading some of my posts from my old waistbandboy blog! Thanks everyone for keeping it alive through your reblogs of my old posts! 💙

I can’t see this post from my old “waistbandboy” blog without tearing up and reblogging it again. I still get messages from my blog followers to this day, that thank me for writing this and have actually showed it to their parents.
