*sigh* Jumping on the bandwagon...which is not to say I don't agree with the principle of this post.
Personally, I used to fear gays. There was no reason behind it; I feared them the same way some people fear spiders. It was truly "homophobia", an irrational, intense, persistent fear. Thank God it never turned into hate, because I've met some gay people, and even have some gay friends, and now I'm not afraid anymore.
The problems with sexuality seem to stem from three big myths that have been programmed into our society (and especially into guys, I think):
1) A person can be entirely summed up and defined by their sexuality. Nobody comes right out and says this, but you notice that even I, who know this is a total load, say that I have "gay friends"; as if their attraction to the same sex is the most important thing about them
2) Being attracted to a person of the same sex is a horrible, life crippling disease, almost as bad as pedophilia or pyromania. Again, nobody comes out and says this, but the majority of us act and feel as if it were so.
3) You are either gay or straight or bi. If you have ANY sexual attraction to the same sex, that automatically makes you gay and you must immediately join their camp forever and ever. This is total bullshit, and as soon as I learned that, I felt much better about myself. People are attracted to PEOPLE. Some people are much more likely to find a same-sex person attractive, and some people are much more likely to find an opposite-sex person attractive, but there is NO all-or-nothing.

I think a lot of our problems would stop if we could stop perpetuating these three myths.

Anyhoo, on to the boilerplate ->

Because I think it's something that needs to be shared. I feel it's wrong and stupid for people to fear and hate others for such a harmless choice in life style...

I mean come on...!

Anyways I hope what's bellow helps at least 1 person out there feel better.


I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

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 not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

I am the man who fears that I will never be able to be myself, to be free of this secret because I won’t risk loosing my family and friends.

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.

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”

—IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG … REPOST THIS ON YOUR BLOG

-There was another part to this one, about God always watching us, and most people denying Him, and how that would cause trouble.
I'm not going to repost it, because I disagree with its sentiment, but I mention it because I'm also not afraid to say that I believe in God, and that God answers our prayers and loves us and that He died for our sins that we might not burn forever and ever.
