Dear Friends, it is time to reveal something that we have tried to keep a secret for along time. My daughter Megan Porter informed us around the time she graduated that she was in a relationship with another female. I thought at first my wife would have a nervous breakdown and I came pretty close myself but over time we learned to deal with it. At first it felt like we were the worst parents in the world and it was our fault that she had chosen an alternative lifestyle. This finally led to her moving out of our house and in with this person because of the relationship, mostly because I gave her an ultimatum. At first we thought, maybe it is just a phase she was going thru but this past Saturday she entered into a lifetime commitment which was represented as a wedding of which pictures were posted of FB. She asked me to be there to give her away and at first I was not going to do it but God kept saying to me I ask you to love your enemies and you are turning your back on your own daughter . I remembered telling her as a child that no matter what you do, no matter how bad it is, you can always tell Daddy and he will always love you and be there for you. So on Saturday, I walked her down the aisle but that in no way means I approve or condone this relationship. I cant, if I believe what the Bible clearly states about a marriage and that it should be between a man and a woman. I accept that she deeply cares for this person and that this person cares for her. Please dont misunderstand me, I am not judging my daughter or anyone else, I am not worthy. I am sure I have more faults than her, her partner or anyone else and consider myself the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, so I can not judge. I can tell you this, I loved her from the first time I laid eyes on her and love her even more today. I would give my life to save hers without hesitation. So proud that she was able to make it on her own and has been promoted to supervisor where she has worked for almost 2 years. She is a beautiful person inside and out and I am thankful God entrusted me with her. In closing, please do not respond to this post as I do not want give this situation more attention that it has already has gotten. To be honest, I would not be doing it now if it had not been for the questions my wife has received. I am sure there have been some who wanted to ask me, but didnt and I appreciate that. Kind of hard to talk about without getting emotional. I can tell you this, I feel better just getting this off my chest and out in the open.
