It's a Sensitive Issue

Today the Supreme Court discussed the gay marriage ban also known as Proposition 8. Tomorrow they will discuss the Defense of Marriage Act. The media is going nuts about whether or not marriage is a right that should be given to the LGBT community. And the Human Rights Campaign is making sure it is advertised all over social media. This issue is very sensitive to me for two reasons 1. I am a social worker. Fighting for what is right is what I do. And if I believe something is right I will fight for it. 2. I know people who are very dear to me that are gay. With that being said I felt it was very important that I express my opinion in a safe place where no one will get offended. I believe marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God. And that the love we can experience with another person is a beautiful gift given to us by our creator. Families are ordained of God. There is no replacement for a mother and there is no replacement for a father. And while I may disagree with someone's opinion or the choices they make, I love everyone. And I believe that it is more important for people to know how much you love them than it is for them to know that you disagree with them. We are daughters and sons of our Heavenly Father who loves us regardless of the choices we make. It makes me sad to think there are those who doubt that love or even don't know of it. So, I choose to be more like my Heavenly Father, I choose to love.
