HOMOPHOBIA IS GAY

I am the boy who never finished high school bacause i got called a fag everyday

I am the girl kicked out of how home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian

I am the prostitute working the streets becuase nobody will hire a transexual 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 becuase they would not let my partner of 27 years into the room

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from my two fathers who are the only loving family I ever had. I wish they could adopt me

I am not one of the lucky ones

I killed myself just before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear

We are a couple who a 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 aviod 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 becuase 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-survivor who has no support system to turn to becuase I am a male

I am the father who never hugged his son becuase I grew up afraid to show affection to other men

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to each gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that

I am the woman who dies when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual

I am the person who 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 becuase 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 to ashamed to tell my own friends that I'm a lesbian because they constantly make fun of them

I am the boy tied ot a fence, beaten to the bloody pulp, and left to die because two straight men wanted to "TEACH ME a LESSON"

Try Not To Cry

Mommy...Johnny brought a gun to school,

He told his friends that it was cool,

And when he pulled the trigger back,

It shot with a great, huge crack.

Mommy, I was a good girl, I did what I was told,

I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold!

When I went to school that day,

I never said good-bye.

I'm sorry that I had to go, But Mommy, please don't cry.

When Johnny shot the gun, he hit me and another,

And all because Johnny, got the gun from his brother.

Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love him very much,

And please tell Zack; my boyfriend; That it wasn't just a crush.

And tell my little sister; That she is the only one now, And tell my dear sweet grandmother; I'll be waiting for her now

And tell my wonderful friends; That they always were the best

Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest

Mommy, tell my teachers; I won't show up for class,

And never to forget this, And please don't let this pass

Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one, though. deserves this.

But mommy, it's not fair, I left without a kiss.

But mommy, it's not fair, I left without a kiss.

I think I even saw one doctor, trying not to cry.

Mommy, I'm slowly dying, with a bullet in my chest,

But Mommy please remember, I'm in heaven with the rest

When I heard that great, big crack, I ran as fast as I could

please listen to me if you would,

I wanted to go to college, I wanted to try things that were new

I guess I'm not going with Daddy, On that trip to the new zoo

I wanted to get married, I wanted to have a kid,

I wanted to be an actress, I really wanted to live.

But Mommy I must go now, The time is getting late,

Mommy, tell my Zack, I'm sorry I to cancel the date. I love you Mommy, I always have, I know you know its true

And Mommy all I need to say is, "Mommy, I love you"
