My God loves gay people. And lots of other people, too.

In light of recent news, I’m re-posting something that I wrote in March of 2013. I’m making a few changes but leaving it mostly as it originally appeared.

My God loves gay people. And lots of other people, too.

One of the first conversations I had with my then future mother-in-law was when she told me that “the homos” were going to Hell. “God does not believe that homosexuality is okay,” she said. She said that she’d been converted from sinning and that until the end of her days, she’d try to convert, educate, and spread the word that “God doesn’t love the homos.”

I wanted to cry.  The God that I grew up knowing loves everybody. My God loves gay people.

I know that He (or She) loves the rest of us dipshits, too.  One thing that I’ve learned through my limited education of a variety of religions is that we are solely responsible for our actions.  We are the ones who are required to do the right thing in life.  It is up to us to find a meaningful place here on earth and to do something that matters while we’re granted the gift of breathing.

What matters is acceptance.  Acceptance and love.  It is not your job to hate gay people, and God doesn’t grant you more grace if you do. In fact, I’m pretty sure that God isn’t cool with hate, ever.  It is not our collective job to define what love and marriage are.  They just are.  Already.  I see absolutely no reason why gay couples should not share in the legal benefits of marriage and family.  Who are we to define what family is?

I think that my mother-in-law and I reached a place of acceptance, prior to her death. She never believed that gay people deserved to marry, but she believed in the right to smoke cigarettes, on her porch, her chemo port hanging from her chest, and most of me gets that, because she could be me, minus the gay marriage not being okay part. She never really made a will, convinced that Jesus would make it so that she wouldn’t have to.

She died loved, if not agreed with.

I should say now that this is not a conversation about my faith, anybody’s belief in God, Science or which, if any, religion is right.

So if this post isn’t about religion, what is it about?  It’s about  FAMILY!  Let’s talk about what’s really important in this messy, crazy, beautiful and humbling life we’ve been given.

What defines a family?  Family is defined by love.  I know more than one person who has grown up in a traditional family and has no contact with her mother, or her brother or maybe her father.  Pick one.  I know that somebody can have the best-conceived notions of a family and still have it amaze her with its brilliance alongside its dysfunction.

Family is love.  Family is who raises you with love.  Family is the people that give a shit when you fall down and choose to pick you up or choose to leave you lying there because they know when you need to learn to pick yourself up.

My God Loves Gay People

Family is family and it’s not conventional, ideal or anything other than unique. I was adopted.  My husband was raised by his grandmother.  My son was born to parents who are old enough to be his grandparents.

And guess what?  We are all fine.

So for those of you who think that your “traditional” family is threatened by a non-traditional family, I ask you this.  Why are you threatened?  Why do you care?  Why oh why does the next door neighbor who consists of a family of two moms and two sons or two dads raising a daughter or one grandma and whatever…matter to you?  Why?  Why are you offended?

I don’t get it.

You’ve got religious values to maintain that taught you that being gay or being different or being divorced is wrong?  Great.  Teach those values to your children if you must.  And ask yourself what you’ll do if one of your children is born gay.

Ask yourself what matters.  Ask yourself what family means. I am not the first person to write about this.  I will not be the last.  And I will most certainly not be the best. But I will be loud.  I will shout that if two people are in love and want to make a family that they ARE a family and that they deserve the legal benefits just as much as the rest of us do.  I will yell until I lose my voice, screaming that it is not our right to define what family is.  It just is.

I will argue that when a mother gives birth and chooses to allow others to raise her child, that her biological kid has parents, and they are not the ones who biologically created him. I will climb to the rooftops with my megaphone and ask you why you care about God and homosexuals.  I will ask you to just let them be.  They are capable of making a family as much as you are.  Maybe more so, as they are not spending time trying to explain to their children that sometimes love is wrong while simultaneously teaching them that love is always right.

Family is built on love. Love is love.

Here is a family:

Family5

Grandma and baby have just as much love as mom, dad and baby do.  See?

Family1

Dad and dad also have just as much love.  Look:

Family3

So do mom and mom and baby as they are a family just as much as the others.

Family2

This, also, is a family.  It’s grandma and grandpa with baby.  They look happy and baby is loved here, too:

Family4

These are all real families. Full of love and teaching and messy living rooms and crayon markings on the sofa. They’re all family, like your family is.  So focus on your own.  I’m pretty sure that God is more worried about us dumping plastic bags in rivers than He is about who our neighbors, our sons, our daughters, our sisters and our co-workers marry.

But that’s just my opinion.  You have yours.  I just hope you’ll think about why you have it.  Thinking about it is worth it.  I promise.

Oh.  And did you notice all of my families’ skin colors are clear?  That’s because skin color doesn’t matter in any of these equations either.
***

I’m thankful for this country passing the law that means that Love is Love.

My God Loves Gay People

This is a Thankful Post. Because I’m thankful for the laws passed this week.

This is a video that Kenya told me about. I think it’s amazing.

    Years ago, in the classroom, one of my students proclaimed that she loved and would marry her bestie. A classmate informed her that she couldn’t love her friend like that. She replied, confused, “But, I do.” Couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t. Love is love.

  • Robin - That is what really bugs me about this whole “issue”–why it is even an “issue”. Why does anyone CARE what others do???? Who someone choses to love is NOT MY BUSINESS! Who I choose to love is and ONLY who I choose to love! My son has an amazng new wife who happened to be raised by two moms!March 28, 2013 – 10:24 amReplyCancel

  • Kerri - Oh my sista-from-another-mistah this is why I adore you!!! First, you thought about it enough to have clear pictures. Because just like race shouldn’t matter neither should your ‘orientation’. Gosh I hate that word.

    What I do not get, and will never be convinced of, is why ‘they’ think because a person is a lesibian or homosexual they do not deserve to be parents or count as a family. Yes, lets let children not be adopted, stay in foster care, be abused because that is such a better alternative.

    Family is family. Period. End of Story.

    My facebook post the other day was: If Dick Cheney and President Obama can agree on this issue does it mean that hell has frozen over or that the Supreme Court and better yet people should just wake the heck up!!!

    Love this post in case you were wondering!!!March 28, 2013 – 11:31 amReplyCancel

    • admin - I know…the word “orientation” is weird. I have no idea why the whole world can’t just judge everybody for the type of person he or she is. It’s 2013! Time to leave discrimination behind already.

I love how you so elegantly turned this post from a conversation about religion to one about family. That is absolutely where the heart is to be found in this debate (why it’s even a debate is beyond me). There are a million other arguments FOR gay marriage, but the one about family is the most profound and beautiful. And a gay family can also exist WITHOUT kids too!March 28, 2013 – 12:16 pmReplyCancel

  • Misty @ Meet the Cottons - someone on my facebook recently posted: whatever floats your boat, as long as it doesn’t sink my ship. i wondered if they had posted it because of DOMA. are we really that fearful of folks who are different than us that we fight and argue to get this outlawed? i hate that we live in a society that places so much emphasis on passing laws to limit the freedom of others. aren’t there way more important things to worry about? i want to shout, just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean you have to partake! did you read my post about pork from about a week ago?

    i decided when my kids came along that i am pretty much ok with anything, because i never want their choices in life to drive a wedge between us. i just want my family to be happy and healthy.

    thanks for posting this topic!March 28, 2013 – 1:00 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Misty,
      It’s amazing how we become so much more relaxed and grateful for what we have once we have a baby. I can’t believe that there are laws that are discriminating. It makes me sick.
      And I don’t remember reading about pork, and I thought I’d seen ALL of your posts. Going back now…I must have missed one.March 28, 2013 – 5:42 pmReplyCancel

  • Linda Atwell - Out One Ear - AWESOME! I couldn’t of said this better. And I was raised in a Southern Baptist Church that did program me for many years that certain lifestyles were a sin. Fortunately, I no longer believe that way. I now believe: Love is Love. You go Kristi!March 28, 2013 – 6:27 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Thanks Linda! I’m glad that love won over your programming. My husband was raised as a Southern Baptist, too. He also supports gay marriage and equal rights. YAY.March 28, 2013 – 6:54 pmReplyCancel

  • Jean Heff - Another great post, Kristi! I have started thinking a lot about what the parents of my children’s future friends are teaching them right now. Will my kids be the only ones in class who were raised to be accepting of all relationships? This post made me feel better about it.March 28, 2013 – 9:46 pmReplyCancel

  • @facethesun - Being heterosexual does not make you good at being married or good at raising children. Loving your partner and being committed to your family is what matters. Adult people who are in committed relationships should be allowed to marry. And they should be allowed to raise children even if they are the same gender.

    And you are right. Love makes a family. A child is better off with two same sex parents who are involved parents, or one single person who is an involved parent, than with a heterosexual couple that is neglectful or abusive or otherwise dangerous. I am an aunt raising a nephew. We are a family. I am the person who has committed to doing the best that I can to give him what he needs. He means more to me than anything or anyone. We are a family.March 28, 2013 – 10:00 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - You are so right that being heterosexual does NOT guarantee good parenting. Bad parenting happens. Great parenting happens. I am so glad you commented here, because it’s just sick and sad that there are still people out there who do NOT know that family is family no matter what. I talked to some of them yesterday. It’s amazing. Thank you. I’m glad your nephew and you have each other, because YOU ARE FAMILY. Already.March 28, 2013 – 10:31 pmReplyCancel

  • Stephanie @ Mommy, for real. - Oh, I loved this. My brother and his partner just got engaged in New Orleans a few weeks ago. They are planning to have a wedding in two years when his partner is done with grad school. I really hope things have evolved significantly in two years, so that they don’t have to fight and struggle to be treated with equality. You are so right- this should NOT be an issue. I’m going to refrain from jumping on my soapbox and let your beautiful words speak for themselves.March 28, 2013 – 10:04 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Stephanie,
      So much I feel like I know about you and then this. Congratulations to your brother and his partner! I hope that by the time they get married, that people are as shocked as we are that we used to limit interracial marriages. And you ROCK.March 28, 2013 – 10:33 pmReplyCancel

  • Dana - I read your post the other day, but saw you on a link up right next to me so I had to come back and comment. It is all about family, and I wish that people would stop worrying about other people’s and concentrate on their own.

  • TheSocialButterflyMom - Also, I feel like the people who don’t want abortion of babies are sometimes the same ones who are against gay marriage and families. This is so contradictory: there are so many gay couples (and probably even singles) who want to be parents and who would love to adopt. Let’s have a bigger parent pool to choose from so that biological mothers who feel like they can’t raise their baby could give it to someone(s) who could.May 3, 2013 – 7:26 amReplyCancel

    My God is pure, unequivical love.
    My God WOULD NOT be on a street corner screaming- “I HATE GAYS!”
    He would be holding up a sign saying- “I LOVE YOU.”
    You are not here to JUDGE….You are here to LOVE.
    You do not need to condone or give our self-righteous speeches…
    But you do need to SHUT UP if you are spreading hate and division and ugliness.
    And you do need to “LOVE.”
    So, do it.

    I am struggling these days with accepting that others have different opinions than mine and that that can be OK. I stuck on one side of this issue.

    • Kristi Campbell - True Sarah that we wouldn’t want a world where we all agree. It’d be nice though if we could all accept one another and not worry about what other people are doing.

        • Kristi Campbell - No sorries ever Sarah, I just wasn’t clear. Also while I know that the world’s opinions are diverse and important they’re NOT (in my opinion) important or valid when they support hate or discrimination. I mean, I think it’s fair to want everybody to agree with you when your opinion is one that accepts and LOVES and shares love. It’d be different if your opinion was one of hate and race and wanting to bring a gun to a church, ya know??? Also fuck when we KNOW we’re right it’s hard to listen. I’ll listen to anybody ever but will never listen to hate or prejudice or anybody who thinks we’re not the same more than we’re subtly different.June 28, 2015 – 9:45 pmReplyCancel

  • Kenya G. Johnson - Correction: Old enough to be very very very young grandparents 😉

    I love this post! Love is love. I wish that was the solid topic that was going viral instead of all the hate.

    Have you ever seen the video (I can’t remember where it was live) but it shows something like an xray screen and all you see is two skeletons kissing, hugging, dancing or whatever. Then the couple separates and comes out from each side of the screen. Sometimes they are mixed races, same genders etc. It a beautiful message that we are all the same under our skin.June 28, 2015 – 6:08 pmReplyCancel

  • Sandra - This made me smile, and as much as I disagree with your mother-in-law that God doesn’t love the homos, I did have to giggle because I could just picture the conversation, and the word ‘homo’ is a word my mom would use too. I think you did a beautiful job of describing your mother-in-law as someone with strong moral values that she believed in, but was still quite lovely. And well, at this point, maybe you’re starting to know me just a little, but you had me at ‘dipshits.’June 28, 2015 – 6:44 pmReplyCancel

  • Lisa @ The Meaning of Me - I love that you’ve said very much of what I have been thinking. Beautiful when you wrote it and still today.
    I had a conversation with a dear friend yesterday (whom we both know and love) and one of the points was this – much like yours – why is this such a huge thing when we have other issues to deal with like terrorism and poverty and violence? Why are we stuck on this? And yes, we were on different sides of the issue. I say so what? We can differ in our beliefs, in our opinion, and still agree that in either case the best way to be is kind, compassionate, and understanding. If we are on a side of an issue and expect everyone to see ours as “right” we aren’t accomplishing anything. That’s just as bad as oppression, isn’t it? Live and let live is what my Grandfather always said and I think he was a very wise man.June 28, 2015 – 8:02 pmReplyCancel

    • Kristi Campbell - Well of course now I’m wondering who the friend was but obviously you and that person are awesome but yeah, exactly… why do the haters CARE? I mean what does it mean to them? NOTHING. And yeah, to the different sides thing – I mean, love is love, and if we can’t accept one another now, how in the world am I going to ask the world to accept my little boy? Because that’s what it boils down to, for me… plus, love is love. And your Grandfather sounds so so wise. xoJune 29, 2015 – 12:00 amReplyCancel

  • Dyanne @ I Want Backsies - If I could write as well as you do, I would have said the same thing 🙂 How my neighbors love doesn’t affect (AFFECT, not effect – did you notice I know the difference?) how I love. How they worship doesn’t affect how I worship. How they keep their lawn obviously doesn’t affect how my yard looks, either, although THAT probably should, because ours looks pretty shaggy.

Yet, on topic, as far as gays are concerned I have friends who are gay, I have extended family members who are gay, a (deceased) step-father who was gay so it’s always been perfectly normal to me to accept them as heterosexuals. For those that are against them having relationships, no less being married…it is a topic with those naysayers that I just turn the other cheek. I’m proud of my feelings and where I stand on the topic. So proud of you always and sending you bunches of love, my dear! 🙂July 6, 2015 – 10:39 pmReplyCancel
