I am the homosexual who doesn't want your pity.
I am the gay man who still goes to church, despite the fact that my faith calls me a sinner, and challenges the preconcieved notions that my congregation has about homosexuals.
I am the little girl who is proud of her two mommies, and stands up to the bullies who make fun of them.
I am the brave volunteer who visits the homes of those diagnosed with HIV, and gives hope to the dying.
I am the transsexual who became an international famous comic, the gay man who shouts out his sexual orientation on every episode of the quirky TV show, or the lesbian who makes inspirational music.
I am the family that, though initially afraid when our son came out of the closet, took the time to learn and grow, and eventually accept him for the wonderful individual that he is.
We are the gay and lesbian professionals and business owners who refuse to support or buy from those companies which endorse homophobia.
We are the lesbians who peacefully protest and campaign for gay rights.
I am a common straight person who lobbies Congress to allow people of alternative sexualities to adopt children, enter into marriage, and have family health insurance.
I am the person who doesn't fucking care which bathroom I use. It's a goddamn bathroom, not a sexual exhibition, and anyone who thinks otherwise is the one who is WRONG, not ME.
I am the attorney, the judge, the lawmaker who won't put up with violations of human rights based on race, gender, or EVEN sexual orientation.
I am the educator who will not stand for homophobia in the classroom, and who begins to teach acceptance instead of lies and fear.
I am the religious authority who will continue to believe that the most important rule is "love one another", and that everything else is just filler.
I'm the father who DID hug his son, because I'm secure in my sexuality.
I'm the high school student who is brave enough to start a club for peoples of alternative sexualities to give other teens a support network.
I am the person who will NEVER hide what this world needs most: love. Because, I am NOT a victim.
I now extend my hand to you, if you are suffering. I am not a victim, and you don't need to be one, either. My strength is your strength. Let us all, homosexuals and heterosexuals alike, do away with the culture of victimhood and begin to implement the culture of strength and bravery. We CAN change the world, as long as we stick together. We need to be strong.
If you support a change and an end to the victimization, repost this.
