Notice: To all those who think Homophobia is wrong and want to fight for a better future for our gay and lesbian friends, please repost this into your profile: I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. -------------------------------------------------------------- We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. -------------------------------------------------------------- We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. -------------------------------------------------------------- I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. -------------------------------------------------------------- Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.
