Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Being Gay Must Be From God

Being gay must be from God
my mother said
She is the CEO of her church

And opinionated
She has come a long way in eighty-three years
And who says God is a man? She asked. God may be a woman.

Why do you say that about being gay? I queried.
Because no one would CHOOSE that life style, she replied.
It is way too HARD.

L Milton Hankins September 13, 2021 at 8:39 PM She sounds like a very wise woman who thinks through the thorny issues. Caren Krutsinger September 14, 2021 at 5:52 AM She is pretty opinionated; I feel she is straightening out some of them in heaven, helping them to level up.

Gershon Wolf September 13, 2021 at 7:29 PM Your mother comes at the topic from a very interesting angle... Perhaps she feels the same way about being Jewish. Smile, Gershon Caren Krutsinger September 14, 2021 at 5:52 AM She sure might! She was Irish - her maiden name is McCormick, so she knows a bit about being persecuted.
