And the whole site, while you're at it. It's absolutely sick. Sometimes I forget how homophobic people can be.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=2535">http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=2535</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:lady_of_storms:8072 2008-06-24T07:38:32Z 2008-06-24T07:38:32Z I don't usually repost, but this is worth it. Even though I believe in a positive approach to LGBT rights and acceptance.<br /><u><br />PLEASE READ WHAT'S UNDER THIS!!</u><br /><br />I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.<br />I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.<br />I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.<br />We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.<br />I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.<br />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.<br />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.<br />I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.<br />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.<br />I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.<br />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.<br />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.<br />I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.<br />I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.<br />I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.<br />I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.<br />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.<br />I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.<br />I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.<br />I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.<br /><br /><u>Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong.
