Sticks and Stones

[splashfoot]

I am creating this, not so much for debate (but im sure someone will debate this). But for awareness. I myself am bi-sexual. I can't tell my family because I have tried. My mother and step-father thinks its a joke. My father and grandmother tell me its wrong and wont listen to me. My father threw a Bible at me and called me a fag. I have been dumped for my sexual prefrence, and harassed for it. Someone said beaing gay is wrong, but its not. People say beaing gay is a mental disorder, I dont think so. We are born this way. I got the most wonderful advice from someone who people make fun of all the time...Lady GaGa. I saw her this summer for my birthday and she said this to all of us. (Not word for word of course and its VERY censored...My mother monster has a potty mouth. ^-^)

"All of my ____ beautiful little _____ monsters! I love you so god____ much! Im so ____ glad you came to see me tonight! You know those _____ and ____ call us weird, but all the weirdos are outside! We ARE the coolest ____ bunch of mother____ people! No matter gay, lesbian, transgender or bi your all ____ wonderful. I would never replace any ______ one of you. And to all those ____ and ____ that ever made fun of you, make fun of you I say _____ them! You know I use to throw my tampons at those girls because I had my peroid and they didnt. *laugh* Your all amazing lets get this ____ thing started! And dont be afraid to ____ be yourself in here. Their will be no god____ judgment in this place, and if their is then get the ____ out! Forget all those things those _____ said to you or about you. They are _____ liars! Let loose and just _____ let go!"

I cried and danced and sung to my hearts content. I was hores for DAYS after. But I never forgot that message. Even now, when im bullied and harassed I just say to myself "Your just jelous because im not afraid to be myself. So ____ you!" But words STILL hurt. I have tried to take my life because fo a few simple words...They were: "No one likes you Splashfoot (not what was said, they used my actual name) you should just go die." So I tried. Another one of my favorite quotes is

"Sticks and stones,
May break my bones.
But words,
Can certnatly kill me."

I dont know who said it...but I might have just sorta made it up.

But STILL people need to realize these things beafore they let the words escape their mouths.

Well then. All right. Now, I'll be the first to say that Lady Gaga is one of the most inspirational artists I've ever heard. I don't care who you are, her lyrics, if you listen to them and ignore your dirty thoughts, are actually innocent and beautiful. And if you've ever met a celebrity, you know for a fact that most of them hide behind a veil of freaking limelight, makeup, and fake innocence. Which is exactly why Lady Gaga is my idol; she's inspiration in it's purest form, and music at it's peak. I can bet that twenty years from now, when we have kids and such, we're going to have them listen to her, and watch them admire it. Our style of music, and speech is far different from what it used to be. Now, since I'm getting off track, I'll be the one to say that I support you fully, Splashfoot. You have a problem? Come to me. I have endless free time, and a mode of thinking that is unlike most others. When I think, I think with my brain and heart simultaneously. I wish I could've had the chance to meet her. I wish I could've met the genius behind Alejandro or Born This Way. I've never met a celebrity. I'm a loser. I sit at home, in my basement, and think of things to type. I think about my life, other people's lives, and the problems of the world. I like to organize my thoughts, which is why I can write so much on such a scant subject. It's also why I argue. Something to do. But, again, I'm getting off track. I'm distractable. I'm bisexual, preferring men over women, and I have two Christian parents. One doesn't believe me, and one tried to kill me when I told them. How would you feel, shunned by your own family. Oooooh! They have an alternate sexuality, big whoop! Don't listen to them. Big Momma Nature (AKA: Lady Gaga) is right; you were made this way. And those ________ who tease you are jerks, and stupid morons. They should be forced to listen to Britney Spears eternally, and have bad 80's music stuck in their head all the time. I love you. I love people. I love most people, anyway. I can't stand it when people gang up on other people for alternate religions or sexualities. Big whoop. To all the haters: KISS MY BUTT!

Correction Afterlife, its Mother Monster. This is what she chooses to call herself and we...are her Little Monsters. I cried the first time I listened to Born This Way becaus of the message. Her songs have saved my life and I keep my dreams alive because of her. Now back on track, My father believes in God as well and I dont. He is straight, I am bi. And when people say "Oh poor you your not accepted isent that nice." Its not, even though it may seem nice to you to people like Afterlife and I its the only thing we want. Is to be accepted and loved for who we are. Not to be judged and made fun of the way were born. Im 5.2 and not incredably attractive. All my life I have searched for acceptance. I love my boyfriend and he knows I am bi, but in his mind he made me straight. I let him believe this because its eaiser. In normal relationships its hard to be bi-sexual, I think its eaiser to be gay, lesbian or straight. Beaing bi-sexual or trans-gender is hard because people dont understand. How can you like both men and women? How could you have been a man/woman and now be a woman/man? We cant explane it but we just are. Now I am not saying that gay people dont get bullied and have a hard time. But I cant speak from that experiance because I have never experianced. I have lost friends because of they way I am...And I realized that if you cant accept me then you must not be a true or good friend.

Absolutely, Splashfoot. I'll be her li'l monster. Like, seriously. I wish she was my mother sometimes. I like her view of the world. When I'm in a tough situation, I'm going to think What would Mommy Monster do? Rather than my normal response of sarcasm and threats. It's plainly obvious that Mom (yup, Lady Gaga's gonna be reffered to as "Mom" from now on by me) is a very unbiased person. Like, she's managed to achieve Nirvana through more than religion and drugs. You could say that Mom makes my day sometimes. I hear about her meat dress? That's Mom for ya! Chances are, she still ate it. Anyway, yes. All of that is true. All we want, any minority, is to be accepted, and when we don't get that, we turn to our muse. Whether it be music, books, or the computer, that's what our primary source of love is. 'S why I come here; love. I get it, in a lot of differing forms. Sure, maybe not all of y'all like me, but that doesn't mean anything. I love myself, and that's accounted for. You know who else is Mommy Monster sometimes? Katy Perry. I swear to Go--wait, what? What the heck does "God" have to do with this? Nothin'. Anyway, I swear, her voice speaks to me sometimes. I'm down, I'm sad, I'm depressed, both of my Mommies are there to help. And that leads me to lesbianship. Love, love, love, love, love. That's all I want to see. No more haters!
