It's going to be hard, being a single lesbian mother, and not easy to be my child, either. Hopefully, the love that I give my child will make up for the hate directed at him/her.
The thing that upsets me with your situation is that the bigots will say you don't deserve the right to have a child, and that it's unfair on the child because they might get bullied etc.
Well whose fucking fault is that?
It's certainly not the mother of a child who will receive no less love than if they had any other parent.
A bigoted mindset is the reason you're child might not find it easy, not that you are gay.
Good bloody luck to you!
