Sexualities and Gender IDThe Wonderful World of Sexual Orientations and Gender Identity

Anyone who has tried to figure out their sexual and gender identity in the world know that this is such a confusing topic and with the added fact that there are so many labels out there nowadays it just adds to the confusion. Gone are the days where people used only straight, gay, and bisexual or man and woman. Sexuality and gender are a spectrum and not something that is black and white. Human sexuality can also be a rather fluid making it even harder to define who you are.

One of the first concepts a person needs to understand while going through this confusing journey is that

My Homophobia experiencesHomophobia

Ever wonder what is on the other side of Homophobia?
Try to imagine
You are in the second grade,
And tell a girl she is pretty and you "like like" her.
She looks at you funny, says, "My mommy says people like you go to hell."
You cant comprehend,
Why?
Isnt this normal?
Sure the other girls have boys they like. But you...You dont understand.
Time passes. You're in the fifth grade. The dance is coming up. You want to ask this really cute girl.
But now you understand...
You are as weird as they say. So, You ask a boy. He takes you, and you're miserable...watching the girl you like being held by a boy.
You dance, wh

Can You ImagineCan you imagine:
Being a little girl,
Watching all the other girls
Talk about the boys
And all you wanted to do,
Was play a game with the boys,
Not talk about how cute they were.

Can you imagine:
Not understanding why
The other kids said you were strange
Called you names,
Said you should just go
And be a boy,
'Cause you weren't any girl.

Can you imagine:
Sleeping over with a friend,
Smiling, laughing,
But once they left the next day,
You wondered why you felt empty inside,
Why you wish they'd just stay.

Can you imagine:
Just hitting puberty
And not having many friends.
You just didn't fit in,
With everybody else.

Romilda y Julieta"The first time I ever
kissed a woman,"
says Julieta,
glass-eyed and
tired-lipped,

"I was fifteen years old."

Anna Rubenstein,
her partner of many years,
touches her fingers to
Julieta's hair.

"It was cold
(we were on a bridge
overlooking the bayou)
and I wasn't
wearing a sweater so Romilda
(that was her name, Romilda)
placed her pacholi smelling
jacket around my shoulders.

I felt like I was getting drunk
on her woody scent. Like I
was drowning..."

Julieta folds her hands and
does not look at Anna.

"And she pulled me close
and I thought I was going
to explode."

"Did you?"

"Yes. I fell in love with
Romilda

LesbianShe treads carefully down the hall
Trying hard to ignore them all

Glares of hatred, harsh tongues full of words of disgust
Cutting people down in their world is a must

She doesn't interact, only races to her locker
Avoiding them who judge her for loving another

To them it's sick, disgusting, wrong
To her their love is like a song

Unending, beautiful, and necessary
Hoping one day they can marry

But she is still condemned for her love
Of a girl who is surely from Heaven above

You heard correctly friends, oh yes it is true
She loves a girl, with blonde hair and eyes so blue

The only thing that keeps her going each day
Is being ab

"Dear Journal.." Day 1WALKED IN MY FRONT DOOR.
THREW MY BAG ON THE FLOOR.
"HOW WAS SCHOOL?"
'IT WAS LAME..'
"WHY? WHAT HAPPENED?"
PULLED OUT MY CARD.
SHOWED HER.

BOTTOM OF MY CARD; 5 DAY SUSPENSION.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
'I KISSED..MY GIRLFRIEND..
TEACHERS SAID, SCHOOL IS gay free..'
MOM TURNED HER BACK.
SHE DIDN'T CARE.
NEVER DID, SO THOUGHT IT WAS FAIR.
NEVER REALLY LOVED MY CHOICE..
NEVER WANTED A BISEXUAL DAUGHTER..

"Dear Journal..." Day 2Long day at school.
Want to go home;
just relax.
Kicked out band class,
because who I like.
Kicked off honor society,
because who I like.
Come home,
just to get yelled at.
"That's what you get!"
Mom doesn't care.
Never agreed with my desicion.
Never wanted, a Gay Son . .

Dear Fate:Dear Fate,

Meeting him was the worst idea you've ever written.
I know you like to prove me wrong - and it's funny how much better you've always known me and how I should probably just give up and accept the fact that you always will - but either way I'd resigned myself to always being alone because people always leave and someday you will too. So how about you trust me on this one and erase that day so the thought of him will stop torturing me?

Hello Alone,

I love the simplicity of the black and white pictures and the signs. and I absolutely love the message it sends. It ties in so well to the Day of Silence anyways. I want to fave this a million times over.
