![]() Author has written 1 story for Avatar: Last Airbender. Hi! I'm brand new to this site and I hope to improve as a writer by posting my stories here. Name: D?? L?? 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 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 put me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I might be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating. 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 don't want the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to see 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 suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-abuse survivor who has no supprt system 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 soo 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 did not 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 who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. Homophobia is wrong. Please post this if you agree. Don't be afraid to tell people. You are a Flaming Uke! Most compatible with: Chibi Seme 16 THINGS TO DO AT WAL-MART 1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking. Repost this if you laughed... You're a 90's kid if: You can finish this 'ice ice _" Post this in your profile if you believe Homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it. We've got an educational system that's in the shitter, we've got a war going on, there's on thing after another, and what did our President think was important? Queers. That's what's important! That somehow, if we could stop the gays from getting married, everything else would turn out just fine! Everything would change - there'd be solar energy! The Sunni's and the Shiite's would lay down their arms: "He stopped the Queers! I love you too." I believe that the reason that it's difficult for the gay community to be integrated into this society at large, the way they should be, is because there are no champions for them in Congress or in the White House. And that is the way that every group of people has basically been integrated into society. That's the way it works. Instead, you have people like Rick Santorum, a senator from Pennsylvania, who says things that he should think and...shut his fucking mouth. You can go ahead and think it, that's fine, but you don't say aloud that homosexuality is a threat to the American family. Because that's prejudice. That's complete and utter prejudice and ignorance, on a level that is staggering at this point in time. It's very similar to the prejudice that the Jews faced when it was thought that during the first night of Passover that we would go into the Christian community and kidnap the firstborn of Christian families and kill it! And that, for those of you who don't realize, is bullshit! We would've kidnapped the child and made him work for us, and that's a big difference. Homosexuality is a threat to the American family, are you kidding me? How? No one ever explains it. How? It's like there's a Jehovah's Witnesses of Gaydom! "Hi, we're here and we're Queer, we're here and we're Queer!" "I brought swatches, I brought swatches!" But maybe I'm wrong! Maybe there are a group of Gay Banditos! Who get into a van everyday and wander from village to dell. And as night begins to fall, they go back into a suburban neighborhood, to that cul de sac, where only one house stands. And in the window, a young American family is just sitting down for their first meal. And these Queers...these Queers...don their black cloaks and hoods and matching pumps - very tasteful - and they charcoal up their faces and they sneak up to that house and open the door and start: FUCKING EACH OTHER IN THE ASS!! And another American family is destroyed! You stand before the mirror Quotes: Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. When someone tells you nothing is impossible, ask him to dribble a football. Once I had a handle on life; then it broke If we share a cell in federal prison, I'm not giving you a drawer. So he's a humanitarian bomber. Normal is just a setting on your dryer. 'Don't laugh in the face of death. It won't appreciate my sense of humor.' Words can't hurt you unless the person saying them writes them on an anvil and drops it on your head. I have no preference. I hate everyone equally. "Your halo's falling down." “Do not anger dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” Three things cannot be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. I am more afraid of an army of 100 sheep led by a lion than of 100 lions led by a sheep. Always plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. He was so narrow-minded that he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. People are very open-minded about new things - as long as they are exactly like the old ones. "Luck is my middle name," said Rincewind, indisctincly. "Mind you, my first name is Bad." Whoever said sunshine brings happiness never danced in the pouring rain. Books are always better than real, live boyfriends any day of the week. They don't talk back and they're always there for you. You can have as many of them as you want and they won't complain. Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die. Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. You may have created my past, and screwed up my present, but you have no control over my future." "The best advice I can give you is to ignore advice. Life is too short to be distracted by the opinions of others." "If you can’t beat them, join them. If you can’t join them, bribe them. If you can’t bribe them, blackmail them." The object of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his. An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before. You are unique just like everybody else "I'm gonna be over here, brooding, silently." Well, not all of us can come and go by bubble. They're just shoes - let it go! Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog...Dodo. I wanted something to remember her by, and all that is left were those shoes, and now that wretched little farm girl has walked off with them! Elphaba: So you lied to them? (Students stare at Elphaba.) Well, what could he have gotten me? I clash with everything. God created man before woman because every masterpiece needs a rough draft. A friend will console you when you're rejected by that person you like, but a REAL friend would march right up to them and say "It's because you're gay, isn't it?" Well behaved women rarely make history. "Me? I'm dishonest, and with a dishonest man, you can always trust him to be dishonest. Honestly, its the honest ones you have to watch out for because you never know when he's going to turn around and do something incredibly stupid." If you're against gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex. The scarred man smirked before looking at the occupants in the bed, “Hello, law abiding citizens,” his gaze shifted to the three Uchihas, “Marginally law abiding citizens,” and then his eyes fell on Kisame, “… citizen.” "I think that's how Chicago got started. Bunch of people in New York said, 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west.'" If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. --Albert Einstein If all the world's a stage, I want to operate the trap door. I always wait for the Times each morning. I look at the obituary column and if I’m not in it, I go to work. If you die in an elevator, be sure to push the Up button. The perfect lover is one who turns into a pizza at 4:00 A.M. --Charles Pierce Does "anal-retentive" have a hyphen? ~Alison Bechdel, 1990 Dykes to Watch Out For calendar (Thanks, Chelsea) The human story does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes in life they make five or minus three; and sometimes the blackboard topples down in the middle of the sum and leaves the class in disorder and the pedagogue with a black eye. ~Winston ChurchillThe Wisdom of Winston Churchill, p59, speech, London, 7 May 1946-- The closest to perfection a person ever comes is when he fills out a job application form. ~Stanley J. Randall They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds. ~Wilt Chamberlain Always live up to your standards - by lowering them, if necessary. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966 I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Player Piano Unless I accept my faults I will most certainly doubt my virtues. ~Hugh Prather Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry cling to my imperfection, as the very essence of my being. ~Anatole France (Jacques Anatole François Thibault), The Garden of Epicurus, 1894 Congratulations! You're not perfect! It's ridiculous to want to be perfect anyway. But then, everybody's ridiculous sometimes, except perfect people. You know what perfect is? Perfect is not eating or drinking or talking or moving a muscle or making even the teensiest mistake. Perfect is never doing anything wrong - which means never doing anything at all. Perfect is boring! So you're not perfect! Wonderful! Have fun! Eat things that give you bad breath! Trip over your own shoelaces! Laugh! Let somebody else laugh at you! Perfect people never do any of those things. All they do is sit around and sip weak tea and think about how perfect they are. But they're really not one-hundred-percent perfect anyway. You should see them when they get the hiccups! Phooey! Who needs 'em? You can drink pickle juice and imitate gorillas and do silly dances and sing stupid songs and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you please and still be a good person. Good people are hard to find nowadays. And they're a lot more fun than perfect people any day of the week. ~Stephen Manes, Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! He that will have a perfect brother must resign himself to remain brotherless. ~Italian Proverb You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out. ~Martha Graham When nobody around you seems to measure up, it's time to check your yardstick. ~Bill Lemley Living up to ideals is like doing everyday work with your Sunday clothes on. ~Ed Howe Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways. ~Samuel McChord Crothers |
