I am not often into shaming people but I love it when Anti-gay pastors and politicians get caught in hypocrisy (Especially pants down with their pool boys)

“Do you mind if I share my story with you? This will a 2-part message. I’m born and raised in a Christian church of which my father is the pastor. When I was about 9 I realized that i was in love with a boy. A lot happened after that. I hated myself for a long time, and had attempted suicide for being something I had been raised to know is wrong. I’m glad I now know that God loves me for who I am and that has given me hope. I eventually come out to my best friends which I had known my whole life and my father. They didn’t give reactions as bad as I feared but over time I realized that our relationships just weren’t the same– they’d all become distant from me– like they didn’t condone me but they didn’t outright condemn me either. It’s this way with all the people I’ve come out to and I’ve even lost a few close friends… Was coming out a mistake? I just feel like (besides God) there’s no one I can trust and I feel alone. P.s. I’m sorry for the long message and for the religiousness.”

Of course I don’t mind, it is my pleasure to help you! I may be an Atheist, but I will say this: If there was a god, any god at all… he would not shun you for loving a person of the same sex, I think he would have a little more to worry about than your bedroom habits. Now, as for your father, in all honesty, as much as it may hurt, you can’t let his disapproval hurt you, use it as motivation to prove that you are much more than just a Gay person. He does not control your life, remember that. No, coming out was not a mistake, it was a bold, courageous step you took towards happiness and for that, I am proud of you. Surround yourself with people who care and who see past your sexuality. Most of all… love yourself. Take care my friend and remember… YOU… that is what your life is about — your dreams, your happiness.

I second this notion!

“You love me for who I am, like the stars hold the moon.”

“I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.”

I don’t know about you guys, but when I watched my President announce that he supports LGBT marriages, I shed a tear and it will forever go down as a highlight in my life.

HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY

Today, 11 October 2012, is the day we celebrate those who are out as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and many other sexualities, who stand as pillars in LGBT community. Those people who risk their reputation, jobs, family and sometimes even their lives to say “Yes I am Gay and I am not ashamed!” stand up to the hatred and show children, teens, young adults and even people into their adulthood that being a member of the LGBT world is something special and that there is hope for a better, more tolerant future. Today we thank those who show us that the bullying, the hate, the ignorance and the threats should not be the end of our dreams, they show us we must continue the fight on for our rights, for our families and for our future.

Today, we send a strong message to those LGBT members who are still in the closet, hiding who they are. We hold out our hands and tell them that if they ever need help, we will gladly do whatever we can. We understand the pain and the confusion, but you are never alone!

Today, we celebrate a milestone for the LGBT community, on this day in 1987, the second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place and showed that we will not back down. This is often known as the “Great March.”

Lastly, today we send an even stronger message to the homophobic community, we will not give in to the disgusting hatred and intolerance we face daily. We will battle on until equality is a reality and until every young Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender understands that this life is worth living, that giving up is not an option and that we will rise above!

To all of my friends and family who are LGBT, remember that we are not just fighting for ourselves, we are fighting for the young man in New York who is scared to admit his love, the young girl from California who feels she was born the wrong gender, the young girl in Alabama who cannot hold the hand of her lover in public and for the family in Florida who cannot seal their love officially because of the law. I am so proud of all of you. Much Love and stay strong!

I want to be there for you forever, for better or worse!

A warm December with you…

The stars are the limit…

Floating on the sea of love
