12-year-old girl Savannah stood before her church last month to declare that she identifies as a lesbian and ‘god made her that way’. The girl said that she was proud of it.
Though they allow everyone to speak till content on that stage, the church officials cut off her microphone and didn’t allow her to complete her speech and asked her to sit down.
“I believe I was made the way I am, all parts of me, by my heavenly parents. They did not mess up when they gave me brown eyes, or when I was born bald. They did not mess up when they gave me freckles or when they made me to be gay. God loves me just this way because I believe that he loves all his creations. I do believe he made me this way on purpose, no part of me is a mistake.”
Heather, Savannah’s mother, said that she was aware of her daughter’s sexuality and was perfectly fine with it. She added that Savannah was conscious that other girls of her age were attracted towards boys while she liked girls. However, she comforted her daughter assuring her that her preferences were completely normal.
