This is important, please read!!!!!!!!!
ATTENTION: This is really important, and by showing me that you ACTUALLY care, once you're done reading this, you'll post me comment so I know you read it, then post the part I tell you to into your journal!!!!!!!
I just read something, and thinking about the issue behind it it made me pissed off.
I have this opinion that I think I should share.
Homophobia is wrong. Shunning somebody just because they fell in love.
I read a book once, and the character was in love with a girl, and this guy comes up to her and goes "so when did you know you were a lesbi?". I loved her reply. I can't remember the EXACT words, but what she was basically saying was that people just fall in love, and just so happens that the person is of the same sex. It's that simple. People fall in love. That's all it is. So stop making a big deal of it.
But you know what's even more sick? It's popular to be "bi[sexual]", because it's the "emo" thing to do. So a girl kisses one girl and goes "oh yeah, I'm bi!", but when they see someone who is in a relationship with a girl, they scrunch up their noses in disgust. As this one girl once said on her myspace I think, she said "By the way, being bisexual doesn't mean just giving quick kiss to someone of the same sex (once). It means you're willing to have a relationship with them". Sorry it just bugs me that they can do that. Turn sexuality into a "trend".
And so I came across this in a friends' journal. And now I'm posting it because I care. It's so sad, because all of this below has actually happened. So, if you really care about people you'll repost this into your journal.
---------------------
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 man who died when the paramedics 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.
