They just want to be heard and want to love the person they love. When I read their thoughts, I totally get it, and my heart aches. My Story Because of my own past, I believe I have a great understanding of the hearts of those who are living within the LGBT community. It is a gift of God so that I cannot boast for what I’ve done (Ephesians 2:10). For it is by God’s grace alone that I have been saved, through faith, which is not of myself. I have no right or authority to consider myself better or more righteous than anyone else. God’s word tells us we have ALL fallen short of the glory of God.

I would like to apologize for Christians who are not acting like Christians towards the LGBT community.

My position is unique because I identified myself as a lesbian and was part of the LGBT community for several years, yet I am now married to a wonderful man and together we have a beautiful son. As I read and hear opinions from opposing sides of the Supreme Court’s decision on same sex marriage, my heart gets it…from both sides.
