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 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 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 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.

LOVE KNOWS NO GENDER Repost this if you think homophobia is wrong.

It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight, the problem isn't love it's hate

A large percentage of writers don't know the difference between "your" and "you're". Or "it's" and "its". Or "there", "their" and "they're". If you are one of the ones that do know the differences and want to deck those who don't, put this in your profile.

“Well, you should!” Shareen demanded. “I would.”

“I would!” Keisha added and Shareen turned to her.

“No!” the Doctor grabbed her wrist. “If she sees you she’ll know we haven’t emigrated to Australia, like I said.” Also From A Fair Compromise

"There is the teensiest, tiniest, miniscule possibility that you may have possibly noticed some kind of mini situation between me and Rose.”

Mickey eyed him. “You mean the honking great tension? The enormous silences and thick atmosphere. The shifty looks and avoiding each other and not talking or holding hands and generally not acting smug and couple-y.” A beat. “You mean that?”

“Yeah, that’d be it.”

Mickey shook his head. “Didn’t notice.” From Go On by Fayth3

“It’s because Diagon Alley is seen as the ‘Light’ district, while Knockturn is ‘Dark’ and Dark Wizards supposedly have fewer morals and so are more open to…borderline legal trading. Apparently. I always took it to mean that ‘Light’ wizards were a bit more boring.” From Serpens Armarum By Evandar (I love this one)

Gaara nodded in agreement. From Byron, Beethoven and Newton's Third Law by Blade Redwind

'What, you think I'll burn something as simple as toast?'

'No offense Lavi but I've seen your cooking. You've probably set fire to water at some point in your life.' From Nekoshonen by dgm-yoai-lover

"Tada!" Lavi yelled as he dashed into the room wearing the most ridiculous outfit I'd ever seen. Coming from somebody who used to work in the circus, you can trust that it was pretty stupid looking. From Stray by Flying Pencil

So you don't look snake-like anymore? How'd you manage that? Wait…did you…shed? From An Idle Mind Is The Devil's Playground by Night Flame Miko

As Lestrade sat back down and started running through the current cases, I maneuvered Sherlock until we were standing in front of Anderson, then rested my hand on his lower back. I heard a disgusted snort from behind us and allowed my hand to drift down a little further; Sherlock shot me an amused glance and I smiled back at him blandly. After a few minutes, Anderson got up, huffing, and moved round to the other side of the room, leaving the sofa free. Result! From The Road Less Traveled by verityburns

"I'm glad you're working hard."

"You aren't listening to a word I say, are you?"

"Did I mention that my nose is on fire? And I have fifteen wild nifflers down my trousers?"

Hermione bit the end of her quill, then carried on writing. "Swish and flick."

"Win-gar-dium, make the 'gar' nice and long."

"I've decided that, once you hit 16, I'm going to tattoo 'Property of Harry Potter' on your right buttock."

"Check Hogwarts: A History, I'm sure it's in there." From Harry Potter and the Quantum Leap by Seel'vor

"He's... 'Chosen', for lack of a better phrase. Fate both likes him, and detests him. So, Fate used me to pass some information that he will need."

"Yep, that's me." Harry sighed dramatically. "Fate's Bitch."

"She prefers to think of you as her 'Minion', not her 'Bitch'." Luna replied, smiling slightly. From Harry Potter and the Quantum Leap by Seel'vor

Susan joined them as they carried on, meeting Blaise on his way up from the dungeons.

"Harry, Neville. Good morning, beautiful woman who set my loins on fire." Blaise maintained his deadpan air, looking over everyone.

Harry let out a 'hmph'. "No-one ever tells me how I set their loins on fire." He mock-pouted, folding his arms across his chest. "I feel so ugly!" From Harry Potter and the Quantum Leap by Seel'vor

"Aww, but you're an American! Your ancestors were patriots, fighting for their very independence!"

"It wasn't difficult to deduce that being tired requires sleep, John."

"And yet, this was what I was reduced to." From Beyond Tired by Arista Holmes

Voldemort just laughed, while Quirrell gulped nervously. "You're an interesting child, Potter. What sort of man would you be if you just killed us?"

Harry smiled, a death's-head smile. "No second chances." He said firmly. "I'm that sort of a man." From Harry Potter and the Quantum Leap by Seel'vor

Jim would love to know what a psychologist would make of him right now: 'Subject is addicted to telepathic connections with aliens. Probable cause? Wasn't hugged enough as a child.' From compulsion by Jaylee1

he wondered what his mother would say if Jim called her, just out of the blue, after years of silence, to tell her...

'Hey, guess what, Ma? That son everyone in Riverside would tell you was a wild one and would never settle down? Well, he's Vulcan-married, bonded and everything. No need to send a gravy boat or toaster oven, thanks, no room for it in officers quarters.'

It might be worth breaking their silence just to see the look on her face. From Compulsion

"What's up, Spock?" Jim asked, then rapidly continued, "And if you say the ceiling, or the sky, or that up isn't really a direction it's just a construct based off my limited human perception I will smack you with a pillow." From Matter of Choice by sunnryder

"Murder isn't the answer, Ino!" Chouji told the girl in a panicked tone.

"Hell yes it is!" the angry Yamanaka shrieked louder than Sakura could have ever managed. From Guardian Angel by Night Shade 1427

Jesus had no servants, yet they called him Master...

He had no degree, yet they called him Teacher...

He had no medicine, yet they called him Healer...

He had no army, yet kings feared him...

He won no military battles, yet he conquered the world...

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him...

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today

Feel honoured to serve such a leader who loves us...

If you ignore him, in the Holy Bible, Jesus says...

"If you deny me before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven..."
