Katherine Walden

Yes, I love you, even if I cannot celebrate what you celebrate, I still love you. Disagreeing with you does not mean I hate you.

Yes, I respect you, even if I cannot endorse certain decisions you make and lifestyle choices you make.
Just because I cannot endorse your lifestyle choices, it does not mean I do not respect you as a person.

Yes, I will fight for you if anyone dares bully you or slander you or paint you with a broad paintbrush of hateful stereotypes born out of ignorance.
As my faith has become a victim of media bullying, slander and deliberate misrepresentation in the hope of silencing my voice, I will never stand by and watch you be bullied.

All I ask is that you do the same for me.
