But why do they hate me?

The Orlando shooting has been one of the most terrible hate acts I have seen and every time I hear someone thankful that it happened it hurts my heart. Jason and I explained to Callie what happened in terms she could understand, when we were done we let her ask questions. The very first question she asked was "Why do they hate me?". This innocent little four year old girl has such a simple question, that neither Jason nor I could answer. As we sat there dumbfounded and unable to give our kindergartner an answer we decided to just hug her we thought it's what she needed the most. I wish more than anything I had the answer to why people hate people like her, she hasn't done anything to them. I wish we didn't have to prepare her for the hate that she's going to face, that we didn't have to scare her like we did. We knew raising a transgender child would be hard, but no one prepared us for this. I don't want to live in a world where every time my daughter goes outside I have to worry about her getting shot or hurt in some way shape or form. I don't want to live in a world where it's justifiable to murder someone because you don't agree with their lifestyle. I don't expect everyone to agree, I don't expect them to magically be okay with me having a transgender four year old, but I do expect my daughter to get the same amount of respect as anyone else. Someone commented on a  post my mom made about praying for the victims saying how he wanted to pray for people fighting for our freedom not "gay freaks" and that commented killed me. How are they freaks? How is someone living their life a freak? Gay people are some of the most successful people out there-hello Ellen!! They are kind, they wake up like you and me, they bleed red which was proven by this terrible event and a post made by one of the doctors about how his shoes were stained red a sad, but true testament to what we've been saying all along. Just because someone lives differently doesn't make them a freak, it doesn't make them less than a person, and most importantly gay people are not pedophiles. Judging someone because of their lifestyle is like me saying all Yankee fans are terrible people who deserve no rights-doesn't make sense does it? That's how you all sound justifying the death of people. One day, I hope my little girl doesn't have to worry about leaving the house. I hope she doesn't have to wonder why people hate her and if everything will be okay. I just pray to God that day is soon.
