Think about these words before you spout that anti-gay/trans…

by The Angry Black Woman in Bigotry & Prejudice


Think about these words before you spout that anti-gay/trans bullshit again.

thefingerfucker:

I am afraid to hold my boyfriend’s hand.
My friend’s parents sent her away.
I found death threats in my locker.
I submitted to electroshock therapy.
I lost half my friends after coming out.
My grandmother sends me hate mail.
My school won’t let me bring my date to prom.
I’m not here any more.
My dad tried to beat it out of me.
No one is proud of me.
