Love is love.

This slogan has become synonymous with LGBTQ acceptance and equality. It means that all forms of love are equal and valid and beautiful, no matter who you are and who you love. Despite your personal beliefs, this slogan is, at its core, a rather obvious and indisputable statement of equality.

As childfree people, we are often told by parents that we will never experience true love because we don’t have children, that we will never know what love means because we don’t have children. This is one of the most common and probably one of the most hurtful put-downs parents will throw at us.

So, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I am reminding you, childfree people, is that our love, is love too. That our love matters, that it is just as powerful and valid and valuable and beautiful as parents’ love. This episode is short and sweet and full of positive affirmations, I hope you enjoy!
