Hey! I'm Alysha (pronounced uh- LYE- sha not uh-LEE-sha), I'm fourteen years old and am from India!

Activities: Swimming, running, playing the violin, theatre and drama, singing, writing, photography, dance, a little bit of drawing and pottery, listening to music...

Interests: Creative writing, poetry, reading, dance, singing, almost anything to do with music.., shopping (clothes, shoes, make-up!), hanging out with friends, and I'm a TOTAL movie buff!! Love walking/ running/ swimming in/ lounging around the beach (not in India of course; I go to California very often).

Favorite Music: Classical, Jazz, Hip Hop, Raggae, R&B, and of course ROCK!!

About Me: I love animals (always wanted a dog but my parents always found some excuse or the other not to get one), I LOVE the beach and could spend days on a beautiful beach, I love writing, reading, dancing, singing, playing the violin, music in general, LOVE swimming, and running. I love travelling, I have lived in many different places (Mumbai, Mussoorie, Taipei, Hong Kong, New York, New Jersey, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Orange County, Atlanta, Dubai, and I am now moving to Connecticut) and I plan see many, many more places in the future (Europe, Africa, more places in Asia, South America, Australia, and many different islands all over the world). I love Math (esp Algebra), hate Chemistry, and will be learning Spanish in my new school. I want to learn crew (a sport involving a very long boat of some sort) and horseback riding. I have two little brother whom I adore and can irritat the crap out of me. I almost never take things very seriously. I can be very quiet at times and very talkative at others. I prefer to say only intelligent things even if it means not talking to much - "At times it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you're a fool, than to open it and remove all their doubts". I have a great sense of humour; I make people laugh easily and laugh a lot myself. I can be very lazy, and I dislike studying very much. I LOVE shopping. I love all kinds of flowers and bright colors. I don't why I mentioned that, it just popped up in my mind. I am a hopeless romantic and am a total sucker for love stories!! I hate almost all vegetables. I LOVE cheesecake!! And Italian food and thai food. I love Jergens products and the smell of grapefruit. CAPRICORNS ROCK!! I love so many brands of clothes that I won't even beging to list them. I'm starting to get really vague and random so I'll stop now. Sorry.

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.
