I have a question btw. My mom was married to a non-binary person. He used they/them and was actually really nice. My dad would never let me talk about it. He said being gay is a sin.

I know. I just wanted to understand what happened. They never had kids with her so when she died, dad had to take custody of me because I was in the will.

It was. I miss them a lot. Now I only have my dad and the people at the orphanage that won't take me because of my dads job.

Ikora Rey

Ikora Rey: Of course, go ahead. What's on your mind?
SeashellJoy
So my parents were very much in love. Everyone always asked my mom why she never had kids. She said it was because my dad liked men and she didn't think that would work out for them. My mom wasn't married to my dad. She was married to Cade.

Dad has told me that mom and Cade loved each other very much.
