Grant me this one wish

No wish is more valuable than the gift of acceptance. I would gladly trade in all my gold and silver, gladly trade in all my gifts and ribbons for it; and even then, those would only be small sacrifices. I wish for the world to one day realize that to discriminate is to only leave room for more hate.

Mother, can you hear me speaking to you? Can you hear me asking for you to accept who I am and the woman I love? Can you hear me pleading you to disregard the holy words of the Bible for a single moment, and to grant me my greatest wish of all?

Father, can you for a single moment, not laugh at me? And instead, acknowledge my wish?

If there was ever a genie on this planet, I would wish for bigotry to end, for love to spread; but if I only had one wish, I would wish for acceptance towards my people. Because bigotry may end, but would we be really helping anyone? If love were to spread, wouldn't many still reject it? But if acceptance would be given to me and the woman I love, I would be made the happiest woman on earth!
