Not only half of my family does not accept me being a Lesbian but hose who do will not accept my bride to be because she is African American. :'( i might have maybe one or 2 family who will accept her who she is. I just wish people would not judge. God is the only one who is judge I was wondering if someone is in that situation. i also need support. She is coming here in AL from TX. Just keep us in your prayers. My name is Christy and my bride to be is Gertrude.

My family is different. My son is adopted and is Afro American and European American. He married a woman who was Native American, Latin American and European American. So the kids 13 and 15 are just about every possibility but Asian American. However, my step daughter (my ex-husbands youngest daughter) is Indonesian and European American. So we have the entire spectrum represented in our family. We all consider it a blessing. Diversity is so beautiful. I call my grandkids my rainbow kids.

We all live in California, where diversity is recognized as a plus by much of the population. Truthfully, if I lived in Alabama or Texas and were in an interracial marriage, I think I'd move to a place that was more welcoming.

At the same time, I know people change. When my son was adopted 40 years ago. Things were very, very different. My response when I see children of interracial heritage, is that if God didn't mean for the races to mix he would never have made the children so incredibly beautiful. I have only once or twice seen racially mixed children that were not outstandingly beautiful.

So congratulations on your upcoming marriage and know that God blesses your love without reservation.

When I married my guy it was a bummer that my family did not support us- didn't show up- acted strange. sigh....

One has to just keep on keepin' on. And hold each other close. Your family may come around in time.

Congratulations on your engagement!!!! :D

Christy, this is wonderful news!!! :D :weee:

I am sorry that your family tends to be unsupportive either of the gender or the color of your partner. You're right, God sees the soul of the person, not the outer packaging. Hold each other close, love and live well, and let your light illuminate the world around you. Perhaps, as Daniel says, your family might come around with time.

Best wishes to you both. :pray:

Congratulations to you Christy and Gertrude!! Best wishes for many many joyful years together! :love: :love: :love:

It's so hard when people we love judge us. And sad to think so many of them won't be there to share such a loving and wonderful time. You and Gertrude must go on and live your lives, pray for them, love them and hope they open their minds and hearts some day.

When they do, you'll have to share what you can of this special day, because they are sadly going to be absent.

Celebrate your love and your lives together - that's what your special day is all about. Those who truly love you and understand and accept you and Gertrude will be there to share in your love. :love: :)

Hey, Kara ... I'll cover the Asian-American for ya. My younger adopted son is biracial Asian/Caucasian.

Rainbow: Congratulations on your engagement. Sorry for your family's reaction. I hope in time, they'll remember that you are the same person they always loved, and accept Gertrude as your partner.
