My child is bisexual.

I hope that there isn’t another mother here among my friends that feel the way I do right now. Because I wouldn’t wish this fear on anyone.

It wasn’t bad enough that my daughter can’t live in a world where she doesn’t get dirty looks every time she holds a girls hand.

It wasn’t bad enough that people say things under their breath to her because they are too cowardly to say them out loud. Because that shit happened before Trump was elected.

But now? Well, we have a president who wants to take away the rights of a few select groups and he reminds me of someone. Now my kid comes home and tells me that she is afraid to go anywhere because this country is taking a turn towards indifference and intolerance.

I agree with her. Don’t say it isn’t true, because it is, there are reports all over the country about men saying they’re going out p**sy grabbing, and taking out n**g**s. So what comes next?

People always beat up the gay kid in school, don’t even lie to yourselves and say that didn’t happen, cause it did. That is what I fear. I have two daughters, and this man has set a horrible example of behavior towards women, and people who are not his ideal(Straight and White) not to mention his feelings about women’s value.

He doesn’t like gay people, and he wants to take their rights away. I ask you what’s next??? “Relocation” All of the minorities in our country are under attack, and so that includes my child, which makes him my enemy. His supporters will look to him for how to act now and sadly some are not smart enough to distinguish right from wrong and bad things will happen.

I fear him, yes because of who he is, but I fear the mindless masses much more. It wasn’t bad enough that if she was in a partnership with someone that they couldn’t be married legally, until recently.

It wasn’t bad enough that she couldn’t be insured on a policy held by her life partner or have family leave if one of them was sick or having a child. But Mike Pence sees nothing wrong with conversion therapy that he feels will fix my child WHO IS NOT BROKEN.

That is akin to mental and physical torture that he sees nothing wrong with, as a nurse and a mother I am horrified. But he will make sure insurance covers it. I addressed that one paragraph up so I won’t go into how ridiculous this is. I realize there are other issues, but we all voted according to the things that were on our individual hearts and should stop fighting. But do not say my issue isn’t important, it is important to me and my family. I hope you never have to feel the way I feel right now.

Written the day Trump was elected.
