To riot or not to riot...
My daughter just came home crying from playing with friends. They were teasing her about us, her moms. She was so sad and I felt so angry. Why do I have to raise her in an enviroment like this? Why does this have to matter to other people? Right now I feel so ashamed, ashamed that she has to go through this because of me, of choices I make. It doesn't seem fair, she is so sensitive, and nice, I don't want other people ruining that for her. I don't want her to hate me for who I am for what she had to deal with as a result. Most of the time I enjoy being a badass causing trouble,agitating, making a scene, but when it hurts my child I regret it for a minute. I want to undo what would cause her pain. But I can't. I work to change this world so I won't have to feel bad about who I am, so my kids won't, so other queer families won't feel bad. I want the freedom to raise my kids without fearing that they will be hurt and damaged for having two parents who love and adore her, no matter what genders.
