Chapter 16 Fairness
The celebration party originally intended to announce the baby to the public had such a result.The child was gone, and the two former fathers almost collapsed, crying to death at the door of the house.My uncle and I dragged each other, trying to persuade them to go home.Little D came late holding a cake gift, and was shocked when he saw this scene, and asked his uncle what was going on.Lawyer Kuimi is a person who has seen the big world, calmly explained the matter briefly, and quickly assigned him a few tasks: according to the guest list, notify other people one by one that the party is cancelled, and tell them not to come.
I dragged the boss back to the living room, helped him sit down, turned around to get a glass of water, and when I came back, I saw him holding a baby toy, staring blankly at him.
He stepped forward and took the toy away from him, put the hot water cup in, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't look at it, let's drink something."
Holding the water glass, he remained motionless, lifeless like a puppet on a broken string.
"Do you want to eat something?" I asked worriedly, "It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon now, are you hungry, let me make you something to eat?"
The boss shook his head, then suddenly raised his head and said three words: "Go boil the water"
"Boiling water? I already boiled a pot just now, do you want to boil it?"
He looked at me, blinked, and said blankly: "I don't know, you just said that it's almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and my first reaction was to boil water, because..." He paused, thinking of something, "Because Chris has to drink milk at 01:30pm every day, if the water is not boiled earlier, he will cry..."
I felt distressed when I heard it, "How about I make some braised pork? Or soup noodles, you like my noodles, don't you? I'll go to the kitchen to see what you have, and cook a big pot of noodles..." I got up and started to go.
The boss pressed my hand, "Asher, don't do it, I'm not hungry, sit down and chat with me"
Hearing what he said, she sat back and held his hand, "Cheng Chengcheng, what do you want to talk about?"
He thought for a while, "I heard from Michelle that you helped his colleague take care of the child before, a one or two-year-old child, right?"
"Yeah, that time I almost tormented me to death. One was over one year old and the other was over two years old. The two children cried endlessly. One started to cry, and the other also learned to cry. The noise made my head hurt."
The boss said in a low voice: "Yeah, they cry all the time, they cry all the time..." After a pause, he continued: "After having a child, my life is really terrible. He always cries, and he cries for no reason. I have to feed him once in a while, and I can’t sleep well at night, he’s so fussy.”
"I know that taking care of children is hard work."
"But, once you get in touch with him, you start to take care of him, small and soft, with a sense of responsibility and heaviness that you will never forget. Have you ever understood this feeling?" He was finally willing to look up Looking at me, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was tired.
I looked at Lawyer Mi not far away, and Peanut squatting on his shoulders, "I understand this feeling, it's very tired and hard, but it's also very warm."
The boss muttered to himself: "Yeah, it's very warm, that feeling... very warm"
He stretched out his hand to grab the pillow on the sofa and hugged it to his chest, and said after a while, "For the first time in so many years, for the first time, I regret being gay."
This sentence made me feel unspeakably sad, with mixed feelings in my heart, and I was very uncomfortable.
Using the food as an excuse, he fled in a panic, walked out of the house, and sat on the outside steps to catch his breath.
Little D noticed it, patted Michelle on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with Asher, go and see him. Adam is here and we can just come"
Uncle followed me out of the house, sat down next to me, hugged me and asked, "What's wrong? I know you must be feeling bad, so tell me?"
As soon as I saw Uncle, I couldn't help it immediately, and my voice was a little choked up, "I just can't understand!"
"Don't understand what?"
"Why is everyone so intolerant of homosexuality? This kind of life is too difficult, and the world is too cruel to homosexuality. I know that homosexuality is very difficult to mix, but I really feel these unfair differences today..."
Attorney Mi touched my head and comforted me, "Don't be sad, Adam and Andrew are both adults, they will be fine..."
"It's not a question of whether it will be okay, I can't accept that if one day, we also want children...I know you like children very much, you definitely want children. But no one wants to give us children, just because We are gay... I can't accept this reason, I can't accept this reason for rejection!"
He didn't speak, just listened to me quietly.
"We are all highly educated, have good jobs, and have an annual salary of more than [-] or even hundreds of thousands. Why do they think we are inferior? It's not fair."
"You like children so much, you must also want children. I have never regarded homosexuality as a shameful thing before. Instead, I feel that being able to do what I want is very comfortable, easy and something to be proud of. In the past few years, countless people, many people around me, have told me that homosexuality is a very painful thing. How about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
"But seeing Adam and Andrew suffering like that today, the eyes of other people, passers-by, neighbors, and the police, did not show any pity or emotion, but seemed to be accusing silently: Who called You fucking homosexuals, you can't have your own cubs, you deserve this kind of crime, who do you blame...it's not fair, it's so unfair..."
"If this matter is placed in the situation of a man and a woman, I don't know how many people will cry blindly and waste a lot of napkins. But when it comes to homosexuality, we are always the one who suffers. Fuck it, yes What's the difference. Why?"
Crackling and yelling, when I had vented enough, the eloquent Lawyer Mi gently held the back of my head and sighed, "Asher, I know, I understand everything. There is no way, this is the reality. I know what you think It's all so unfair, we're just inferior in other people's eyes. We're inferior because we're gay."
"Is there no way?"
He nodded, "No way, but many people are working hard to create a solution to this problem. Now many people form organizations to fight for the rights of homosexuals, in the hope that one day, homosexuals can enjoy the same rights as heterosexuals. We can't give up just because the world is unfair to us, but try to make the world change."
"To be honest, it's very difficult, especially difficult. American groups have struggled since 1960, and have only achieved a little bit of results. But it's not impossible. I believe that one day, homosexuals will be affected by the opposite sex. love equal treatment."
I was very upset, but there was nothing I could do, so I could only get angry at my uncle: "Then why did you stop me just now, maybe the child can stay! Why are you so wicked? Instead, you helped those policemen and the boss to rape the child? "
He knew that I was not feeling well, so he was scolded silently, and when I had finished scolding and the evil fire had passed, he said: "If you help stop me, even if the child can stay today, it may not be the day after tomorrow. Forcibly detain me like this. Not giving it will only make it more difficult for Andrew and Adam to adopt a child in the future. If they cooperate and give them the child, and then the court appeals again, the possibility of getting the child back will be greater."
Hearing what he said, I also froze, and muttered in a low voice: "Is there really nothing I can do?"
Lawyer Mi also had a bitter face, and shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, and I hope there is a way to help them, but now I have no other choice but to appeal in court later."
The weekend that was supposed to be celebrated broke up badly. The three of them helped to clean the house briefly, and made some food for the two of them.The boss didn't eat the meal, and after crying again, he shrank in the room and couldn't come out. The captain's face was also not good, and he insisted on sending us out.Little D held the customized cake with regret on his face: the boss kept calling me to see the child before, and I only came once, and I never thought I would never see him again.
He doesn't like sweets, so my uncle and I took all the cakes and snacks at the party home. On the way home, Lawyer Mi was driving. Moved the fork, but in the end he couldn't eat the cake, so he gave it to the black people begging on the side of the road.
After going through the Captain Boss incident, there was a moment, a moment, when I felt deeply sad, scared, and even regretful that I was gay.
It would be great if I could fall in love with women and be a normal heterosexual.
Wouldn't life be easier that way?
There are many injustices in the world. Some people lost countless lives because of their youthful impulsiveness. They killed those lives at birth, sent them to orphanages, and left them on the garbage dump to fend for themselves.Some people suffer from illness and regret that they cannot conceive a child for the rest of their lives. Some people fall in love with the same sex and cannot bear children for each other. After finally getting a place to adopt a baby, they wring their fingers every day waiting for the statute of limitations to officially start. On that day, I prayed to God to bless them through this difficult waiting.
Open the URL, enter the words that homosexuals should not, or homosexuals should, etc., and a series of sad and uncomfortable suffixes will appear.Gays shouldn't get married, gays shouldn't adopt kids, gays shouldn't be legalized, gays shouldn't be recognized, etc.Or, gays should be burned, gays should be banned, gays should be beaten to death, gays should be sentenced to death, etc.
In the eyes of others, we are not ordinary people, but ants, perverts and heterogeneous people who like the same sex.This kind of person doesn't deserve to be pitied.
In the next few months, Attorney Mi recruited a colleague who knew the most about adoption in the company and asked him to take over the case of the boss and the team leader, and help them with the lawsuit at his own expense. Almost two months later, the lawsuit was finally lost.Before finalizing the decision, the kind female judge said to the boss apologetically, "Sir, I believe you are a good father, but before the law, I cannot hand over my child to you."
After the verdict, the captain looked nervously at the boss, for fear that he would suddenly make a fuss in court.The boss just sat quietly, staring at Chris who was being held in his arms the whole time, and when he turned his head to look over, tried to wave and greet him, hoping to attract the baby's attention.The child's biological mother was dissatisfied with the verdict, and even intensified her request that the boss and the captain should pay them mental damages, because her child had lived with homosexuality, which had a great impact on the child's character and values.
The teenage mother didn't get what she wanted, and left cursing with the child in her arms.
For the boss and the captain, this was always a huge blow. The two never mentioned anything about the children. They were reluctant to throw away those baby products and toys, so they could only lock them all in one room and bury this matter deeply. In my heart, never mention it.
My uncle and I really want to help, but there is nothing we can do if we want to help with this kind of thing. We can only give them time to relieve their pain and get out of the shadows.
