I don't usually start topics, but I thought this was worth it. My friend had this posted in her livejournal, and I felt the need to pass it on. I thought it might be good to get it spread around.

Quote:
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 didn?t 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.

repost this if you belive homophobia is wrong

That's so sad and true. I almost did get kicked out of my house when my dad found out I was gay. My mom talked him down from it though.

I am the gay rights advocate who has to hide being bi myself in order to be heard.

I was saddened by that but it's very true.
We had a discussion about this in my class last year on Gays as fit parents. I was very sad and ready to cry during tht discussion.

No matter how times I read that, it always hits me hard. The closest friend's I have are lesbians, and when the world finds out: they are gonna be wrongly juged and shunned from the world. I am one of the lucky ones who found love in form of the opp. sex even though I am bi, in a way, I don't have to tell my parents. I don't have to suffer with my rath filled father's, who is a lose cannon, opinion of me after I told him. Before our day of silence next year, I'm going to try and see if there can't be an assembly to draw attention...and also yell at those who don't take it seirously. Why? Because then maybe some Gay/Bi/Lesbian students in my school won't be sooo scared of what would happen if people found out.

That message is short, yet so powerful. It seems to tear at my soul and it made me cry. Its so sad, yet so true. So many have a pointless hate and fear twoards us which causes such situations to arise. Why can't everyone just treat eachother with respect and decency? crying

Yeah... that is sad.
Luckily I have a cool mum who when I told her. Said "Is that all."
It's really sad when you see homophobic abuse.
Luckily (once again.) I live In New Zealand and there are HEAPS of helpful resources and a campaign to get government action againts Sexual Minotrity discrimination. Me and a couple of friends are a part of it.
Would you believe that Im Fourth form? Besides the point.
Homophobic bullying is sad...
