Reason Why You should NOT be a Homophobic!

*********************************************

I thought this was the most beautiful e
mail.
I would love to meet the person who
wrote it.

myspace-bulliten-homophobia.html

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 (wo)man who fears that I will
never be able to be myself, to be free
of this secret because I won’t risk
losing 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 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.

I am the person ashamed to tell my own
friends I'm 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”

My prayers go to anyone who suffers.
We are a collective of courage and hope.
Hatred will one day be a thing of the past.
We can only dream.

*Untold Pinoy Story No. 1*

Beyond Sibling Rivalry If your siblings are married to huge celebrities and you've just lost your chance of marrying one, would you still strive to surpass their feat? But how could you beat being married to an award-winning actress whose mother is a beautiful actress and whose father is the original Agent X-44 of Philipine movies? Or being the wife of Mr. Pure Energy?

Or being Mr. Megastar? ...
