If there is one subject I am reserved about it about, it is same sex couples, marriage and families.  While I support same sex couples, marriage and families the topic is a sensitive one for me.  For I once was married to a gay man.  To this day I will always have respect and admiration for that man because I saw the pain he went through to just fit in society.  I hope that one day our society will be able to accept same sex couples, marriage and families for they are no different than the family, couples, or marriages consisting of a man and woman.

Being “different” is not easy.  While I am not lesbian, I have lived and loved a gay man and I can say without a doubt they are 100% human and they, like everyone else, just want to be loved and they want to have someone to love.

I almost lost a good friend because he was afraid to come out and be who he really is.  Today, it makes me happy to know he is now living the life he has always wanted.  I hope that one day he will be able to marry the love of his without issue.
