Please, repost this in support of your friends and loved ones who are. Love is not defined by color, creed, sexual preference, or gender. Feel free to add your own story:


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 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 one 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.

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 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 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 a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.

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."

This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of brutality . Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later he was found by a cyclist who initially mistook him for a scarecrow. Matthew died on October 12 at 12:53 am at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS GAY!!!

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS
AS "HOMOPHOBIA."

IF YOU ARE IGNORANT... IGNORE.




I don't get it, why are homosexual people considered 'disgusting' and 'sinners'? They're in love. That's all that matters. It's what most religions teach. Sure, they have a different sexual preference. Everyone has different preferences. It's like someone going on a mass crusade because someone preferred White Chocolate.

The real 'disgusting' people are those who deny two people true love. If you want to argue this case. There is no argument. Two people are in love. Sure, they're the same sex. Who cares? They love each other and want to be together. Does it matter?

It's appalling what people do... -_-
I don't see what really is bad about homosexuals, they're just people like you and me! But some people can't get it through their thick heads that homosexuals are normal people (especially in the olden days when they burned them at stakes! D:).

Yeah, I know, it's just someone else's preference. I hate Christianity sometimes. Is preference a sin?

Hahaha, I'd go back in time and shove stakes up their... ... Yeah, not the homosexuals, they're awesome.
:iconrhubarbleaves12864:
Exactly! However, in Christianity, God lets people be homosexual just that they're not allowed to go to heaven! :S

Nyeh. I respect Christianity, I just get pissed of with it. They're the most blatant religion. Once I heard that all people who worship 'other Gods' go to hell. Because they didn't believe in the 'One, True God'. Eh. I'm just a nutcase.

Good to be talking so much though! XD
:iconrhubarbleaves12864:
hahaha! yeah, almost all my friends are Christians except me! makes me feel a bit left out but I don't really care!
