This was something I used to read alot a couple of years back when I was the most confused and feeling down about my self...It was a chain letter that a friend of mine posted...
It sounds really bad...but this used to give me...I dont know...Strength I guess? When I was younger and felt like I couldn't deal with it anymore...just a sign that I wasn't alone (even when none of my friends knew and I felt like I was completely alone @_@) But the end of the original chain letter it said "Repost this if you think Homophobia is not ok."
lol...Some of my friends laughed at me when I reposted it ::)
Homophobia
I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a ->-bleeped-<- 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.
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"
Wow that really is heart moving stuff...
thank you Clueless for posting this. it is very sad but this goes on everyday and it shouldn't and some of these are my greatest fears as i live in Ohio, a state full of GLBT, yet people are still so afraid of us for no reason at all. somebody posted the other day about a bird change it's sex on its own from female to male, if a bird can do it naturally why is it wrong and not of God(who in my belief created everything) that humans do it?

I read it about a year ago. Reading it again reminds me that I need to continue to help those who are hurting.
