Hi Jade,what a touching article to read,I too felt quite emotional after reading it,unfortunately though it is all too often the case for us that this is the way we get treated,though I have been fortunate in my life that I have reasonable family support,and have not really suffered to any great degree as far as the way that I have been treated personally,and I hope that the rest of TR members can say the same.I take it that the article was written in america,as it would seem from certain things that this is the case.Unfortunately, it appears that this supposedly great and forward nation is not as wonderful a place as it might first seem,given the teatment of people in their society that do not fit in for whatever reason,eg,coloured,transgendered,or any other reason.I like to think that here in australia our easy going ” she’ll be right” attitude makes life easier fors us. i for one certainly hope so. kind regrds,cate

Ignorance, prejudice and stupidity…sadly just part of the human condition for many. I live in hope that there will be fewer of them in the future. All anyone asks is to be allowed to do whatever they like doing, which doesn’t hurt anyone…you can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time there’s not a lot anyone can do about it….no matter what you are doing…crossing the road, driving to work.
At the end of the day we can’t let those morons win.

What is it that we have that is so repulsive? Are these people scared that their vision of “Normal” has been shattered. Prejudice is rife and when one prejudice is gone another is born. The world is full of small minded people who are bred on a diet of fear and bigotry.
