What you will read below was in response to an myspace mail that I got last night. I thought it pertinent to post to my blog to deter future idiodicy. Hopefully anyone who thought about writing me with the same rhetoric will think twice before sending me junk mail..... Read on....

I think that it is best stated in Matthew chapter seven how we should look at others sin. I am an out and proud mother of 6 children (3 of which I birthed) and when I tell most self proclaimed Christians this, they tend to (tsk tsk) and comment,
"Oh my; those poor babies!" I feel that this preconceived perception and labeling constricts people in a way that is crushing to humanity.

Let me start by saying that I lived the better part of my life trying to conform to the ideology that society has placed upon us as humans and in the process, I managed to give my children low self esteem by example. They saw me with their father truly unhappy, feeling like a failure and not loving myself at all. They picked up on that and adopted my way of thinking regardless to my constant uplifting of them. Once I left their dad, I struggled alone to take care of them (which wasn't new I'd done this our whole relationship).

They watched me day and night working and sometimes crying because of how my life turned out. I knew deep down that I couldn't suppress my lesbian feelings any longer. So I 'came out' to my family and friends and my children. After about two years of learning myself and asking God to take this sinful nature away from me and send me what I needed, I accidentally yet fortunately met the woman of my dreams. She was just as spiritual as me. Having a hard time accepting this aspect of her life, just like me. And she had 3 children just like me. We connected on a level that I had never connected with anyone in all my life. We have been together ever since.

I said all of that to say, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE OUR FAMILY OR LIFESTYLE BASED ON OTHER PEOPLES MISTAKES! I meet homosexuals all the time who make me ashamed to be a lesbian. I meet black people all the time that make me ashamed to be black. I meet women all the time that make me ashamed to be a woman. BUT, I still strive to be the most spiritual, and nurturing BLACK LESBIAN that I can be! It's a shame that my family has to worship the Creator at home because we aren't welcome in churches by judgmental people in our own communities. But...noooo... that's not sinful. Is it?

I think that a blogger named 'Theoreticality' said it best,

Now, I've read all of Matthew, all of the Bible in fact, so I guess I must've missed something. Would one of you Christians mind pointing out the verse in the Bible that says, "Oh yeah, and before I forget, all Christians please completely neglect Matthew Chapter 7, it's just in there to make sure we look like an open minded group"? Sorry, but i haven't been able to find that one yet, oh yeah, i forgot, I know why i haven't found it, BECAUSE IT ISN'T THERE!! So to all those who judge and call others sinners, God will judge you and call you a sinner, and for those who condemn others, including the homosexuals to hell, you will also be condemned to hell...
Quote from philosophy.com

So those of you who just can't help being judgmental and wishing for the downfall of a same-sex couples union, remember this. I doubt that the Creator would condemn me to an eternity of hellfire and damnation just for unconditionally loving a woman and her children and accepting them as my own for the past seven years and several more to come. I think that what God wants is for all of us to lead happy, spiritual, prosperous lives.

So please, think about that before you throw out words that hurt innocent people and their families tearing down what they know as true love. Stop to think before you abandon helping people to realize the truth of God just because they live their life differently than you. Be careful not to judge; less you be judged. Just because a person takes on the label of "Lesbian" doesn't mean that they are promiscuously living their lives. Gay people commit to relationships too. We are all God's children and he loves us ALL!

CONSIDER THIS...PEACE OUT...TAKE CARE.
