But forget all that; it was in the past and doesn't apply to your life now or in the future. Peering into my crystal ball, I see you and your gorgeous hunk of a lover with your sweet adorable little baby, raising him/her to truly know the love of a family. At least that's what is in my crystal ball... ;) That was a wonderful family story Tony and I enjoyed it. But forget all that; it was in the past and doesn’t apply to your life now or in the future.

That coupled with her opinion that same sex couples don’t deserve equal rights has put a never ending strain on our relationship. As for my biological father – well, he left when I was 10 and that was just fine by me. The good thing is that I won’t perpetuate mental, physical, or sexual abuse onto any child and that’s got to be a good thing. Still, sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be a daddy. As for you, I firmly believe that when the time is right, you’re going to make some lucky guy the happiest man on earth and he’s going to do the same for you.

At least you will have dozens of glorious years together. At least that's what I always hope for. If you do pick the wrong guy. At least you will have dozens of glorious years together.

In the end I think there are many cycles that repeat through generations, but that we focus on the ones that are most relevent to our current lives. You, my friend, are an amazing man, and I truly doubt that you will pass the cycle forward. Interesting that the cycle you’ve picked is about approval/ disapproval.

But through time, they accepted him. My mother has been gone 22 years. I came out to my father and he was displeased/angry/upset et al. with me being gay and the person I had been hiding for 3 years. In time, he accepted me. My relationship ended and my father was diagnosed with cancer. I dated someone for a year during his 3 year fight. He never accepted him but in the end, accepted me. He has been gone a year and a half. I am sure my grandparents would have disapproved of me- as their generation usually does. I cannot imagine the hurdles you must face being southern. I have always wondered what my mother would have thought. But in the grand scheme of things, her death saved me the fear of disappointment. Does your Granny know? As always, your thoughts push me to think (and admire you for sharing so deeply).
