Amen. There is a world of hurt here. I will help the Ali Forney Center when I can. Thank you she and William.

This has been a problem for far to long with LGBTQ youth.

I wished I had the statistics at my fingertips to post because they are staggering.

and those sad children in need of them out number those. The difference was indeed staggering. Don't know why I post things that hurt my soul, yet we need to feel the pain to make change. It hurts, well then we just have to do a hell of a lot better. We need change to make it right.

It is beyond me how any parent could do this, oh I know it's true, yet I don't understand the cruelty of it all.

Tears~

Kids that are kicked out by bigoted parents cannot even get adopted my a loving Gay couple. How fucked up is that?

I think I read you were selling your house. Get the hell out of there, your state is sadly ugly to deny a child a loving home.

I posted something on your site about....

WATCH: Teen With Two Moms Tells Texas It’s Time to Change

Using the example of his “pretty ordinary” family — including a younger stepsister who is a straight-A student and loves “subversive things” like The Hunger Games, Gossip Girl, and fashion, a younger brother who has pledged to wear a Santa hat outfitted with Yoda ears every day this month in hopes of bringing Austin a white Christmas, and his two moms — the 16-year-old eloquently destroyed antigay arguments rooted in reverence for “tradition.”

“There are still people who stubbornly refuse to recognize family even when it’s right in front of them,” Marriott-Voss said. “Some people are still genuinely concerned that my parents’ love could harm tradition or erode society, maybe even threaten existing marriages.”

“We share the same values and beliefs as everyone else, the same normal struggles and triumphs, except we are denied the basic dignity of being officially respected as the family that we are,” the teenager continued. “These antifamily laws create a raw deal for kids like me. Marriage is supposed to be a very important issue, but these laws cause children to be raised across the country in homes without it. The most important thing I want you to take away from me today, is that it’s not our families that need to change, it’s Texas.”

Get out of there now William

She's standing by the train station, panhandling for change
Four more dollars buys a decent meal and a room.
Looks like the Sally Ann place after all,
In a crowded sleeping hall that echoes like a tomb
But it's warm and clean and free and there are worse places to be,
And at least it means no beating from her Dad
And if she cries because it's Christmas Day
She hopes that it won't show...
First Christmas away from home.

I couldn't imagine the pain of running for being gay. I was running from abuse. Been running for 36 years now and still cannot get far enough away.

This is a worthy cause. Rec.
