I wish this blog had been around when I first found out. I'm sorry people aren't being supportive of you and Melanie. As an aside, what is it with moms and the fear of the "gay bomb"? My mom brings that up, oh, every third time we talk about dressing. And she's known for a year and a half. And I've explained it over and over. Sent her links. She's discussed it with my SO. And STILL she will say, "But... do you think he might be gay?" Sigh. You are making a difference. I wish this blog had been around when I first found out.

Talked to the kids when Sharon and I got together. Just asked them to be careful because not everyone loves Sharon like we do and wouldn't understand. They had NO IDEA that that included their grandparents. They thought that gram and gramp were SAFE and would love ANYONE no matter what. I was very disappointed in my parents and how they handled the situation. But it has taught the children a very important lesson. Prejudice is wrong and it hurts. LOVE reading your stuff! Keep up the sharing! Know kind of how you feel. Talked to the kids when Sharon and I got together. Just asked them to be careful because not everyone loves Sharon like we do and wouldn’t understand.

What happened?" "Aunt and Uncle happened. We honestly felt like we shouldn't come back after that last incident." Or whoever it is. That truly does suck, and I can understand being saddened and angered over whatever specifics were involved. Things like this make me very glad that I only have my immediate family nearby. Almost all the rest of the relations are out of state. “Hey, I thought you two were moving back here, instead of *insert state*? What happened?”

Why people make such a fuss over gender expression is beyond me. But they need to build a bridge and get over themselves! Girl, say it loud!

Something we drum into our kids, yet as *ahem* grown-ups, it gets lost along the way somehow.

> I feel like I’m making a difference in the world

At the risk of sounding like a kiss-ass, you *are* making a difference. There are a number of CD/T* blogs out there, but what is out there for partners? Not so much.

The thing is, with you blazing a trail, well, you’ll be in for some flack. I really wish that wasn’t the case.
