♥I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.

♥We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gaybash.

♥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 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.
