Took this from wihayo . 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 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 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. I should be able to walk again in a year.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just a few weeks before graduating highschool. It was simply too much to bear.
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 domestic partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
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 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 man who died when paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they discovered I was a transsexual.
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.
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 afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.
