Homophobia and You: They're people too! Stop the hate and spread the love!

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 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 not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. 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 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 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 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.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.

The Pack in The Winchester Wolf:

Avery: aka blondy to Dean and the Alpha male of the pack. After Seth Clearwater died a certain vampire doctor came to Forks to find someone to start a pack again to protect the small town because he knew that all the ones Seth had created had been killed. Avery was given the mutated blood then taught how to make it mutated. The doctor then told Avery to chose people to form a pack that would protect the Forks/ La Push area.

Shane: The Brown haired kid, visiting from college but got ambushed by the wolves. Avery met this kid sneaking into a bar, got talking to him and liked him. Shane was the lasts person Avery changed other than Dean.

Marie: Blond Tall chick Dean finds Sam talking to. The reason Sam can't leave Forks/ La Push area. Used to be a bartender for a local pub in La Push. Also the only girl of the pack. (She's like Leah only less bitter and mean. She's pretty much one of the boys). Avery chose Marie because he knew one of the people that helped mutate the wolf gene was a girl and thought maybe having at least one girl was a good idea. He was right, because everyone gets along with her and she is like a mediator along with Nick.

Tristian: A trouble maker, tall with short black hair. Used to be a logger in Forks (like pretty much everyone in that town). Avery chose Tristian because of his stealth skills and he's mischievous and figured this could be useful.

Ron: A hippy vegan guy with long constantly greasy black hair. Always tied back. Its looks funny when he changes to wolf form because his hair gets in his eyes but he refuses to cut it. He used to have an herbal store in Seattle that he owned but only went there on the weekends. Avery chose him because Avery has a dark sense of humor and thought it would be funny if a vegan hippy was one of them, since wolves were predators.

Ricky: Thinks he's the toughest person in the world, making Dean want to kill him. Used to be a football coach at Forks Highschool. Avery chose him because he wanted to be able to boss him around since he was used to being the boss.

Nick: Tattooed and pretty much a teddy bear. Used to be a mechanic in La Push. Avery chose him because of his calm exterior, but also his ability to kick butt. He's the guy Dean wants to kill the least, resulting in them becoming friends.

Preston: A sixteen year old jock who hangs out with the popular crowd and beats up nerds. Avery thought he would be good for the pack because of his fighting skills. Preston still calls Ricky 'Coach' and follows him around and gets mad when someone insults him. Preston tends to beat up on Aj.

Aj: One of Preston's many victims, Aj was chosen for the pack because of his brains and research skills because Avery knew if they had only muscle in the pack they'd get killed off.

And of course the most important wolf, Dean. Avery chose Dean because they needed someone else to make the pack feel complete, and he decided it would be a hunter so maybe he could tell other hunters to stop coming after them.
