I Am Making A Difference

I am...

I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.

I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare.

We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.

We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gay bash.

I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face in front of the entire restaurant--and shares with my other trans friends which restaurants don't raise a stink.

I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.

I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.

I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.

I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.

We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.

If you agree, repost this in your own blog. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win.

Open-mindedness rules at everything. Taken from

Yeah, that was me. ^_^

I have 3 gay uncles and I remember being told why they didn't have wives at a young age and going "so what's the big deal about that?"

I have regular debates and arguments with bigoted idiots about this. Apparently, to some people, homosexuality is a 'psychological disease' and heterosexuality is 'normal'. They have never heard of bisexuality. Idiotic, ne?

Being taught to be open-minded is a good thing. I just frickking wish more people can learn that. And I wish I have gay relatives. It'll make things a lot more interesting.

Oh yeah...they are cerifiably crazy!

When my other uncle got his PhD, one of 'em stood up and yelled "IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE!?" in this high class restaurant! and people were looking around like "OMG!" and then my uncle stood up, "I'm a doctor!" and then everyone cheered. It was insane...

-giggles-

Were they kicked out of the restaurant?

That was RP acc. Ignore... ignore...
