Let's make up a word for people who love, cherish, and adore their beloved relatives who, right from the beginning, before the age of 3, were different. My sweet girl had absolutely NO input into her sexual orientation. I saw it all unfold. No one can tell me she would have been any different under any other circumstances. She had every bit of love and affection any child could want. Which means, to me, that her path was given by God. I go to church every Sunday, I am old, and will not change my mind. Don't try.
