HOMOPHOBIA

2008-03-16T21:23:00.000+08:00

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday

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 not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

I am the man who fears that I will never be able to be myself, to be free of this secret because I won’t risk loosing my family and friends.

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 woman who died when the EMTs 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 didnt 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 ashamed to tell my own friends im a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to “teach me a lesson”

I'm here in Kuwait. I don't have enough time to update my Blog because me and my Father are... you know. Bonding.

Anyway, I'm going to let you see some exclusive pictures.

By the way, a day ago or 2 days ago, Father celebrated his Birthday here in Kuwait. Going to upload the Pictures later.

For now, Me and Father's friend "Lola"-that's right, just like in the
song Copa Cobana, are going to the Beach or to the Sea this morning. We
both love the outdoors.

Globe, so bad!

Don't worry, I will have enough time tell you what happened in Fao's Birthday Party ... I hate Globe. Why? So expensive!

Febuary 01, 2007

We went to SM North Edsa to pickup my Sony Ericsson phone, it was reformatted. Then, this is the time I decided to activate Globe's Unlimited Service. What a surprise.

20 pesos, 1 day ... 40 pesos, 2 days ... 80 pesos, 4 days! So bad!

Febuary 05, 2007

Still suffering Globe's discusting new service, and at the same time, I'm happy because it's my Baby's Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Ok, gotta have to go, have to go home. So stressed out again... Bonding galore kasi eh...

Another exciting day...

7 AM, the class starts, but what's new, still late.

I then decided to check my e-mails and my Friendster account. So excited why? I have a Baby. That's right, a Baby, not a child but a loved one. That's why everyday i'm always happy, even though I don't have a social life in my school anymore...

To cut the long story short, after sending him tons of iloveyous in his account, I went to Alyssa's house... end.

Too lazy why?

Today, a very busy day. Swear. So tired! My god! Why? Long story, in summary I went to LieLai's (Alyssa) House in order to help her with her Power Point Presentation, without using Power Point. That's right, we used a video editing software in order to make a modern-effortless presentation! January 9 (yesterday), will not be forgotten easily. Only the 3 of us knows the whole story!

Alyssa, bad shot ka sa bahay, 3 am na ako naka-uwi, natulog ako, gumising ng 7 am, then pasok, bangag na bangag ako!
