Anti-Racisit

I did a total 180 on this…

I was raised to judge and condemn everyone who was not a cis gender herterosexual. 


How did I get to be queer friendly? 


I consider myself an ally to everyone identifying as LGBTQA+, non-binary, pansexual, and an anti-racist. (Although my calling myself an ally doesn’t make me one! It is by our actions that we demonstrate how much of an ally we are!)


All those fundamentalist Christian beliefs began to crumble as I contemplated what I was taught, that “God” is love… (FYI, I don’t use the word God very often because I still associate it with the oppression of that culture, so use your own word if you want, the Divine, Source, The Quantum Field, whatever works for you.)


… it didn’t make any sense to me that love would create anything that wasn’t also love. 


Everyone had to be sourced from love.  


There is no condemnation and nothing is wrong with who we are.  


It is our birthright to be our authentic self. 


Twisting ourselves into being someone we are not, is painful because we’re not supposed to do it. Like putting a hand on a hot stove is painful.  


Love created us. Love didn’t make any mistakes. 


You and I are love. 


I know there are issues, political and cultural, that make things complicated and challenging. I’m not attempting to address them in this blog. 


I am wanting to say loud and clear, YOU ARE LOVE. I AM LOVE. We are created as love. 


You are beautiful just the way you are.
