we are LGBTQ

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. She was beaten to death because she was gay.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. They consider him a “friend”, not family.

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, but they can’t because they’re both men.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

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’m not male enough for men, and not female enough for women.

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 man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I was born as a woman.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. Unfortunately, that isn’t happening.

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 is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. They might hate me.

I am the straight kid who wants the hate to stop.

I am the student who refuses to use gay slurs as insults.

I am the one who is tired of pretending I’m somebody I’m not.

I am the boy shot to death because of my gender expression.

We’re the couple who has to move away from all our friends and family to be together, because our state made it illegal for us to get married.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most: Love.
