HOMOPHOBIC Act Taken Out on a Good Friend

So I found out via facebook that A good friend who I have mentioned in my posts before has become a victim of homophobia... and I don't mean just name calling or anything either! It was terrible! Luckily he is okay. Those of you who read my posts will know of Jordon, a fun, (and flamboyant) friend of mine who I mentioned first in my post about the pride parade...

He was walking around when out of nowhere, some scum hits him with a car!! To top it off he yelled out the window "Fucking foggot! Did that hurt?". Jordon, being Jordon, needed a way to vent and get something out so he turned to facebook on his phone and wrote a status basically explaining what happened. One thing is for sure, and that is he has a lot of love and support from his friends who care about him and are concerned about him, including myself.

The only thing that hurt was his leg, and he couldn't get the license plate number, but he did talk to the police about it.

I cannot get over the fact that someone would do such a thing! Regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, everyone is equal and should be treated as such. People need to learn to love, not hate. I don't understand what would posess someone to do something so cruel, especially just because of someone's sexuality! What a down right pathetic act! I just don't f***ing get it! Why the hell do people hate!? Jordon is the last person that deserves to have something like that happen to him. He is one of the kindest, harmless people I know!

I am just thankful he is okay... I more or less wrote a slightly different version of the statement above on his wall along with a "here for you <3" as well as quoting someone who posted before I did, and the quote was "I hope they catch the douche bags".

Knowing that the majority of my readers (if I have any) come from Amars World, and are either gay themselves or in the same position as me when it comes to homophobia and hatred in general, so I felt the need to share this with you... I am well rotted about it all.

Gay 14 Year Old Takes A Stand

Last month, Michigan high school teacher, Jay Mcdowell was Suspended when he sent a student out of class for making hateful comments towards gays.

Many people showed up at a school board meeting to support one. Among these people, was openly gay 14 year old, Graem Taylor. Graem Taylor made a truly inspiring speech to the school board. His words are truly amazing!

A video of his speech can be found here

It is the first video.

This is a must-watch video.

Graem Taylor is truly an inspiration.

First Post/Bits and Pieces: GSA

Hey, folks. This is my first blog post!!

Welcome to my blog! :3

This blog will be full of a lot of random thoughts, and bits and pieces of my life.

Let's start with some "highlights" From my week.

On monday, it was same old, same old... In the morning I went to the third floor at school to hang out with my friends with whom I hang out every morning; my "morning group" XD

There is Olivia (Olivia M) who is probably my best friend in that group, Courtney, other Courtney XD, Molly, Another Olivia (other olivia) who I only met this year, but is quickly becoming a great friend, Ashley, and Alex, who is a decent friend but I am not as close to him as I want, and plan on becoming better friends with him.

The reason I want to become better friends with Alex is because he is a great guy for one! :) However, there is another reason... I feel kind of bad for him because I know he is gay, (most others think he is anyway) but he isn't open about it. Just to let you know, I know because I am friends with one of his ex boyfriends. I really feel bad for him, because he is such a great guy, and he can't be very happy hiding part of who he is, and not being able to openly pursue a desired relationship. I am thinking about just hanging out with him more and possibly telling him that I know one of his ex boyfriends and then inquire about it. However, first, I am going to try to get him to join the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA).

SPEAKING OF GSA:

It was just started in my school by a friend of mine, Julia. She is burnt! For those who don't know when I say "burnt" I mean she is a laugh and a half! She is so funny and so awesome! We had our first meeting on Tuesday. it was all the formal stuff so it was kind of "boring" according to her, but she says it will be way more fun! She was so funny though! For example, when the teacher who is our supervisor walked in, she commented on how she liked Julia's hair and laughed and said "IT'S HOT!" Then Julia said "Haha, miss is hitting on me! Be careful miss, Kelsey will fight you... she would win too". Then Kelsey, her girlfriend, jokingly shouted "YEAH! I WILL WIN TOO!" That had EVERYONE laughing!!

Oh one more thing. I love how at least half the people that were there (including myself) are straight! I find this good because it may help the straight homophobes hear the wake up call they so desperately need!

Lastly, nothing really interesting happened today... but on the bright side, I have a half day of school tomorrow and no school on friday, which may lead to fun times! :D

Well, that concludes my first post!

I can't wait to see how this whole blog thing goes... :)
