I'm a sixteen-year old f2m transsexual. My girlfriend and I have been together, completely in secret, for 11 months now. My parents are your classic homophobic Christians. Her parents accept the fact that there are gays out there, but both she and I know that if we came out to them, we'd be separated in an instant. Sure, it's fine for other people to be gay, but God forbid it's their own daughter. Not to mention, they hate me to begin with because she and I "hang out too much." We can't come out at home, we can't come out at school, we live in a small enough town that we can't be open anywhere for fear that someone will see, and everyone will know. We're just longing for the day that we turn eighteen and can finally be together. Together as the loving couple that we are. Our love is forbidden, but we are the star-crossed lovers, met through fate. She's my beautiful Juliet, and I'm her ever-loving Romeo. Love is love; it has no boundaries. When will the world see?

I finally found out where the word "fag" comes from. I got so angry while reading this.
The word "fag" in British means a cigarette. According to South Park, it means a person who rides a really loud motorcycle. But originally, it meant "a bundle of sticks". So how did this turn into a derogatory term for a gay person?
Back when they burned witches, they didn't JUST burn witches. They would tie the witches to a stake and put little bundles of sticks around the bottom of it so the fire would have something to catch onto. And thats where they would put gay men. They would tie them up and set them on the sticks, then light them on fire. It was supposed to signify that homosexuality was worse than being a witch.
So next time anyone even thinks about using that word, think about what you're saying.

My school is not one of the most supportive. if you change your hair people judge you, if you dress differently then everybody else people start talking stuff about you. So imagine how I feel... I'm bi-sexual and have been for about 2 years. I have told a limited amount of people. Only 2 of my family members are aware, my cousin and my sister. I told a couple of my close friends that I know I can trust. One of my best friends is also bi-sexual. She is dating another girl that I am also friends with. Some people from our school know and are giving them crap about it. She told me that she was afraid of going back to school because if something did happen she wasn't sure of who she could talk to. That Is kind of a scary thought because it got me thinking that if I was going through that in such a public place as a school, I probably wouldn't know who to talk to either. I went out with a girl a couple months ago but not in such a public place. I think that if I had been more public about it I would need so much more support from the people that I love the most.... That's what I'm giving everyone else.
