I am a 30 year old pregnant lesbian, professional social worker. I was in a committed relationship with my girlfriend, but I am now married to a man.

In my case being a lesbian skipped a generation. My maternal grandmother was a lesbian. In her day she married young and had eight children. My grandfather was very upset with her as she grew older and insisted on being able to spend time with her lesbian love. In the end my grandfather took a mistress and had three children with his mistress.

My mother has asked me to honor the command to have children. She asks that I honor my grandmother. This is a difficult situation. After a whole lot of thought and pain I surrendered to my body's purpose. I married a man, I am pregnant by him and will honor the command to have children. My husband knows I am a lesbian and I told him my condition of becoming his wife is that he not prohibit me from my feelings for my girlfriend. That is our arrangement.

My grandmother was not able to have such an arrangement. She gave her body to her command to have children. I don't know if my command will result in eight children, but if that is my command I deliver my body to that purpose. I will do as my grandmother did, I have her strength. It may be that our lesbian being will skip a generation again, only time will tell. If so she will know of her grandmother and great great grandmother and follow her command in her time, of that I am sure.

Life is sacred, being a lesbian does not excuse us of fulfilling the command to have children.
