The "I Am" Declaration

I am the woman who sees the beauty of your soul and hears the song of your heart. :heart:
 
I am the woman who came out to her minister on the playground last week.

I am the woman who is continually explaining to lesbian and straight women that being bi doesn't mean being sexually predatory.

I am the woman who distributes our local queer paper to the posh west suburbs of Milwaukee in spite of the nasty looks and comments made behind my back as I'm stocking the newsstand shelves.
 
I am the man who believees he is here to love rather than judge.
I am the man who stumbles with that concept now and again.
 
I'm the girl that always fell in love with gay men and got used to them that way. My "boyfriend" in high school was a gay man who wanted cover. I just went along with it and was rewarded by the best friend ever, and a loyal guy who just couldn't be taken away from me by my "friends." This boyfriend entered and won the "Miss Randolph" high school competition to a standing ovation in his senior year. He wore the tiara.

I am the only member of my family that my brother came out to voluntarily and in person.

I am the woman whose daughter marched with Ru Paul in the New York Gay Pride parades because she wanted to play with the "Drag princesses"

I am the person that if you say something is "gay" I will say "I assume you mean happy." With a significant stare.

I am married to a man whose father was a member of the KKK, but he'll also say "I assume you mean happy." If someone mentions the word gay as an insult.

My husband and I refuse to be bigoted because it's just stupid, and we're not stupid. If you're smart and funny, we'll love you no matter what your race or orientation. If you're stupid and mean, we won't like you no matter what your race or orientation. We're equal opportunity opinion makers.

My husband and I are immune to reverse bigotry against white people. Since we never owned slaves and don't get a corporate check for our skin color, we assume we're not the ones they're talking about.

I am the person that is still genuinely shocked by bigotry enough to always do something about it.

I am the mother of a daughter who keeps encouraging her obviously gay friend to PLEASE come out of the closet, he'll be happier. She notices nobody else wants him to be happy, just be what they want.

I am the person who will accept you for exactly who you are and not try to change you.
 
I am the Christian who is utterly digusted at the way most who proclaim Christianity act. God is love, not hate. They'd do well to remember that.

I am the woman who believes you have the right to love whomever you wish, regardless of gender or race.
 
I am the man who lied about being Popeye, because it is funny.

I am the man who doesn't know much about sailing.

I am the man who loves cartoons including Brutus (just not in that way).

I am the queer woman who welcomes many people of many genders into her family.
I am the woman who is raising two kids who are- most probably- bisexual, although it's completely their decision.
I am the woman whose son, at nine years old, told his best friend that it wasn't okay to be homophobic, that "gay" didn't mean stupid or bad, and that if he didn't get over it, my son would not be his friend anymore.

... I am the woman who wakes up with a hardon on many mornings...

if nothing else, this is the singularly most perfect quote to add to your sigline.
i keese you!
:kiss:
 
I am the woman who although I'm a bit homophobic - yes, I confess that I am, but I'm working on it!!! - , fights to keep my mind open and not treat people differently because they confide in me that they are gay/lesbian/bisexual.

I am the woman who once got hit on by another woman, and after getting over my first reaction of embarrassment and surprise, chose to take it as a compliment.

I am the woman who will fight for gay people's right to marry and adopt, by arguing that Love is Love, and that it's better for a child to have two loving gay parents than a pair of heteros who became parents after a night of heavily drinking.

I'm the woman who's crazy about the Gay Male section of Lit, who loves shonen-ai (boys' love) manga, and who drools when she sees two men kissing.

Well said.
 
I am me.

I am human, flawed, imperfect, but striving forward each and every day.
 
I am the man who is open to everyone and supports you to voice your views ...well except you...and you narrowminded christians and wallmart-shopping rednecks...but ALL the rest of you run free!!!! and huggy kissy!!!!

:cool:

*VBEG*

I got kidnapped to there in May by a dear friend who realised if I didn't get away from here I'd probably spend the next few years in the looney bin. Had a wonderful time scaring the hicks.

An English girl? With peircings? That smokes, drinks and swears like a sailor? *cue stares*

Mwhwhahahaha
