I saw this posted on a list I am on.....makes you think doesn't it :(

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS.

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag every day.

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 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 woman who died when the EMTs 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 didnt 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.
broke my heart!!!!!!! !

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die
because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson".

Everyone has a life to live. let them live it as themselves. No one's
opinion should affect anyone else's happiness.
 
Thank you for sharing that. It brought tears to my eyes. People need to see that more often.

Food for thought and Life.

Will things ever change in the human experience of learning how to understand one another without violence or hatred is something the world still has to learn.

:cool:

No wonder why, I am a closet bisexual man.

I had a friend when I lived in New Zealand. He was married, and bisexual. His wife didn't know, nor did anyone else. He came out to me, after we became "friends with benefits".

We lived in a rural community, where men were men not "poofs". He and I used to have long chats together. He loved to dress in women's lingerie under his ordinary clothing. I saw him once when I went back to NZ for a visit....he is still hiding himself :(

I was in the closet for many years, until I came out when I moved to Australia. My family does not know, but they are still in NZ. The sense of freedom is amazing, and I have been "out" for four years now. My partner (now husband) is understanding and supportive, and I have a female friend who I meet every 3/4 weeks for some sexual fun.

It is so sad when some of us have to live our lives in fear to be ourselves :(

I was with my girlfriend for years before I finally got the guts to tell my mother. I was terrified of what she would think. And now, I still haven't told her we're planning on getting married.

Luckily no questions were asked when Mom called herself your mother-in-law, huh? :heart:
