I don’t hide my love for Jade anymore. I found my soulmate, it just so happens she’s a woman. Some people in my life aren’t cool with that, which hurts me. Why can’t they see I am so happy? In love? Respected? Treated well?
I’ve come from 2 relationships with men that were, in their own way, violent. I am now treated the way I deserve to be treated. I very rarely flinch when a hand goes near my head now and that’s because I’m safe. When Oliver grows up, he will be allowed the choice (in my eyes) to love who he wants without restriction and without condition.
We’ve been together almost two and a half years and our future is bright. No one should be restricted, or treated differently, because of the person they love. Religion shouldn’t dictate who you can and can’t love. Love is love…who doesn’t get that?
