A Note to My Kid gives the LGBTQ community, their parents, families and friends the opportunity to share their
You walked into my life when I was fifteen, and changed me forever.
I didn't know anyone who was gay or bi-sexual before I met you, and anything I knew was based on prejudice and fear, and heresay. We lived in a typical American suburban neighborhood and if not for meeting you at that critical stage in my development as a young adult, and all the wonderful people you introduced me to, I might have grown up and passed my prejudice and fear on to another generation.
I might never have chosen to work (at one time) for an organization that fed people with AIDS. I might never have chosen to live and raise my daughter in a neighborhood with more two-mom and two-dad families than anywhere else on the East Coast.
We married, and we divorced, but it had nothing to do with your sexuality.
I am so happy we remained friends, and that you have found a partner to share your life with — one who is as remarkable as you are. You are happy. It makes me happy. You are a wonderful partner, father, son and friend. I am proud to know you.
That day when you walked into my life, and hypnotized me with your outrageous blue eyes, you opened my mind as well as my heart, forever.
Love,
Lisa
