Why is it so hard to be accepted? Why do some people have to go home in fear that their parents won't love them because of who they are? It isn't a choice, it's not like we were able to choose whether we would like to love men or women. I have seen a lot of Christian or Catholic people feel that way too. ¨God made you who you are so why not stay like that¨ I have the perfect example. I was picking up my little cousin Jack who is 6 years old from Sunday school. The older lady who teaches during that time is in her late 60s or early 70s and greets me with a smile. ¨Hello Luna.¨ She smiles. ¨Hi¨ I smile back. ¨Now what do you think about Jack wanting to be a girl?¨ She asked me. ¨I think he can be whoever he would like to be¨ I reply. She looks down at her hands and shakes her head at me. ¨God made him a boy, he should stay that way.¨ She strictly said. I was very uncomfortable with the situation I was put in not only because she was saying these ludicrous things in front of my little cousin but because she is saying it to me and not his parents which is an obvious sign of weakness. If she was speaking to my aunt or uncle she certainly would not have said these things. ¨If god made him who he is then why is it an issue that Jack would like to be a girl? You said God never makes mistakes so how come it is so bad for Jack to feel the way he feels? He did not choose to feel this way; he was just born like that and there is nothing wrong with that. ¨ I then grabbed him by the hand and walked out. I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to accept that nobody is the same and there is nothing wrong with that. It is 2021 and people are different. If you can't accept that then how will you deal with the rest of your life? You can't hate 7 billion people because of who they love or who they are. ¨Well when I was raised-¨ Nobody cares about how you were raised because that is the past, we are on the fast track to the future and if you don't hop on this train then you're getting left at the station and that's not our fault, it's yours.
