A Message to the World

Listen

My best friends say asexuals are aliens that broke down while coming to Earth.

Their boyfriends say aromatics are cowards of love.

My parents say that they are just confused.

I'm aroace, a mixture of both.

And if you're wondering, I'm not.

I'm not any of those.

Not an alien.

Not a coward.

Not confused.

Yet if they knew what I was, they would just make more excuses.

More,

And more,

And more,

And more.

Until I can't take it,

And give in.

That's how it's always been.

Going with the past.

Never with the present.

The future taking the consequences.

"The gays are sins!"

"They go against the Bible!"

"They don't know what they're doing!"

"We need to save our children!"
"They're shoving their gay into my face!"

We're not sins.

The Bible isn't for everyone.

Yes, we know what we're doing.

The children that already know?

No, we aren't. You're looking for it.

"They ruin straight relationships!"

"The kids they adopt will get bullied!"

"Trans people aren't real, it's just a phase!"

"You're all going to hell!"

We don't force people into relationships, so your relationship is safe.

Then don't teach your kids to be bullies.

You try being stuck in someone else's body.

See you there.

"You aren't gay, I know you."

"Fag!"

"Being gay isn't real, go see a mental health doctor because it's a mental sickness."

You don't know me well enough.

Don't, please just, don't.

It's not a sickness, but many of us have mental health problems because of people like you.

"God won't accept you!"

"Is being gay your only personality trait?"

God loves all.

Is being homophobic yours?

"Attention seeker."

I just want help.

Who are you to say who God loves or doesn't love?

Are you going to heaven just because you're straight?

No.

Am I going to hell just because I'm queer?

No.

Stop bothering us.

Leave us alone.

Mind your own business.

Why do you care so much?

This is my life, not yours.

A survey said this:

75% of LGBTQ+ teens experienced anxiety effects.

61% have symptoms of depression.

82% of the people that took the survey (13-24) wanted health care.

60% couldn't get it.

LGBTQ+ teens are 3.5 times more likely to attempt suicide.

Trans teens are 5.87 times higher.

Gay/Lesbians being 3.71 more likely.

Bisexuals at 3.69.

We get bullied and develop things like this because of homophobia.

10% of us are threatened/injured at school with weapons.

That being out of the 34% that are bullied.

And 28% of us are cyberbullied.

59% of us are raped, in toxic relationships, and so much more.

Homophobia exists because people won't move on.

Your homophobia causes us to be like this.

To be broken.

Internalized homophobia happens.

Because homophobia happened first.

Stop.

Please.
