I am reposting this from another forum that I am in. I added a little to it...



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".

I am the Bisexual, scorned and ridiculed by heterosexuals and homosexuals.

I am the married Bisexual that everyone ridicules as a cheater even though I am faithful.

I am your Mother, your Father, your Sister, your Brother, your Son, your Daughter, your Friend, your Neighbor.

I am a Human Being.

We are all Human Beings.

Pass it on...

Life has it's cruelties for EVERYONE. . .I could write an e-mail about how being black/female/epileptic/chunky sucks sometimes.

The point that e-mail forces on me is... okay. .. AND? Am I gonna wallow in self pity, or suck it up, pull up my hackles and drive teh fuck on?

Maybe I'm being harsh, but I've gotten that e-mail before and it made me do the same thing when I got "Footprints" in my e-mail box. . .

so? Feel free to be harsh... it's a still somewhat free world. However, I guarantee you never got this e-mail before because I only authored my parts of it a few days ago.

It's not here to bitch and whine. It's here to remind people that we are all Human Beings. We are all worthy of a little compassion, understanding, and Love.

Anything it "forces" on you comes from within you, not from the e-mail itself as it requires nothing from you. It merely asks that you pass it on.

Pass on the understanding that the people it speaks about so desperately needed. Pass on the compassion. Pass on the Love.

Bitching and whining? Not at all. However, if we don't start showing understanding, compassion, and Love to each other, then someday they may be writing something like this about us.
