To The Telegram,
My daughter has a very loving relationship with a girl who is orginally from Superior. The girl that my daughter is involved with is a wonderful person and a good student at UWEC. I am very involved with their lives not only personally but academically as well. I have been to this girl's geography presentations at the UW and had even attended her Rugby games. It is sad to me that her parents choose not to truly get to know their daughter. I know more about their daughter currently than they do.
Life is too short. One day your daughter could be gone and how would you feel? Would you really feel good about this constant battle? Is it really worth it? Both of these girls are good people and do not live a horrible lifestyle. They both enjoy music, gardening and the arts.
I have always been very supportive of my daughter. She was a full time firefighter in Green Bay and then in Los Angeles before moving back to Eau Claire. On her days off, she gave a lot to her community by volunteering on the village fire department. She was even given a good neighbor of the year award. How about that? A self-less gay woman giving to her community. Not only to the people that lived and worked there, but to those who passed by.
Parents -- I only have one thing to say: Love and accept your children for who they are...they are not only the product of us but they are God's children too. He made them exactly the way he saw fit. Who are we to judge?
