Homophobia is more of a sin than any homosexual ca
Posted on: June 7, 2008, at 03:27:32pm

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

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.

I am the man who fears that I will never be able to be myself, to be free of this secret because I won't risk loosing my family and friends.

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 EMT's 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.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm 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.

Do you see what homophobia does?

   "I am the man who fears that I will never be able to be myself, to be free of this secret because I won't risk loosing my family and friends."
   This one always spark a tear in my eyes, geez... It's not that I'd risk losing my family, but I'd risk my own life...

   This is the fifth time I've read this, each time I've shed atleast a couple tears. This thought is as true as they get.

   Oh I forgot
   "I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. "
   I have gotten complaints from 4 of my coworkers so far because I happened to be in the bathroom while they were.

   I love this.
   Stay strong to your orientation. No matter how much people put you down.
   You guys are the ones who are able to be -different-.
   You guys are the brave ones to say 'this is who I like and I don't care about what you people think'. Unlike all those clones out there that think only being straight is right.
   No where does it say you -have- to be with someone of your own sex. That's only there for reproduction purposes.
   +1 support from me.
