Dear Homophobe~

I used to get angry for extensive periods when you cross my path. But these days, after a few encounters, i realized… many homophobes sing the same old song.

Like a broken record.

Your Profile, Persistent Homophobe:
1. Ignorant of homosexuality and the literature behind it.
2. If not ignorant, out to twist results of studies done.
3. Weak arguments- unable to substantiate why homosexuality is “wrong”.
4. Generalization of stereotypes.

There is a well of information that you can draw from, from this site, from the forums, to try understanding our community.

But you chose not to.
No no, you rather wallow in your ignorance and familiar ground. People like you cannot think out of the box you were born in… You are stuck.

And you love being stuck!
Because if you ever know us as people, you would be astounded by how human we are… and yet how strong we are.

That is a defeat you cannot swallow.

You don’t want to believe that we can be happy. You want us subjugated and converted. Perhaps you want us eliminated from the surface of this earth.
And you would do anything in your power to achieve your means- which is to try to steal, kill and destroy.

You TRY to:
Steal our happiness.
Kill the depressed among us with religious judgment.
Destroy the peace-loving image we have- which indeed we are.

But guess what…?

You ain’t gonna win.

Yours is a downhill battle- because you are out to steal, kill and destroy.

Peace is not on your agenda; hatred is.

We lesbians are different from you hardcore terrorist homophobe:
We are not fighting against flesh and blood.
We are fighting ignorance and misinformation.
Our means are peaceful.

That reminds me.
Yesterday, i was talking to my mother about marriage- overseas no doubt. I wanted to marry my girlfriend and asked if she would be there. My mother said this: “I will be the flower girl.”, indicating her presence. Little things like these mean so much to me.

You know the latest message the government is conveying?
Family is everything.
And what my mother say to me is of much more significance than what you homophobes say.

Two days back, my straight friends and I jested about who’s gonna walk down the aisle first.
They asked me, “what about you and Nic? Where will it be held?” And they want to be there- in spite of the fact that my marriage is going to be held overseas and they need to pay for the airfare!
My friends my friends, you have my heart…

Your era is over, dear homophobe.

You have been hoodwinked into thinking that people like you are ubiquitous. But the numbers are rapidly dwindling.

And have you ever thought of this:
We have been here for so long- since thousands and thousands of years.
… We are definately here to stay.
Even the Jews number over 15 million after plans to eradicate them by the Nazis.

Don’t take things too hard okay?

Love,
Mier
