| | HOMOPHOBIA
• 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 woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me
as soon as they realized I was transsexual. (yes, this actually
happened)
• 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.
• 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"
• I am the gay male student that had to switch to another
high school on my senior year, because I told my teachers that I was
gay. One said that I was going to hell the other wanted to cure me.
