MTO EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Most Of The Boys MOLESTED By The Penn State Coach . . . WERE BLACK!!! (He Had A FETISH For Black Boys)

by Loren Due · Comments (0)

12 Nov

November 11, 2011: By now you’ve heard that former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing eight young boys over more than a decade and former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and former finance official Gary Schultz, were charged with failing to report an incident.

Penn State University appears to be involved in a SYSTEMATIC coverup of the incident, which has many wondering WHY they would do such a thing. Why would a university TURN ITS BACK on so many young boys who were being MOLESTED by that MONSTER.

Well MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a woman claiming to be a MOTHER of a boy allegedly molested by Sandusky, and her son was AFRICAN AMERICAN.

The mother, who asked for anonymity, told MediaTakeOut.com that her son and many other young boys claiming to be MOLESTED all looked similar. “They were Black about 10-12, and had a tall slim muscular build.” The mother went on, “How could no one have noticed, he’s around all these boys that look the same . . . This is disgraceful.”

The mom claims that she has gone to the POLICE and will seek criminal and civil actions against EVERYONE involved. Including the school. Good for her, we hope they BANKRUPT Penn State.

By the way, for all you people thinking that MAYBE Sandusky didn’t do it. Peep the timeline of events, courtesy of ESPN, and tell us whether you think there is THE SLIGHTEST CHANCE that he’s innocent!!!

1969 Jerry Sandusky starts his coaching career at Penn State University as a defensive line coach.

1977 Jerry Sandusky founds The Second Mile. It begins as a group foster home dedicated to helping troubled boys and grows to become a charity dedicated to helping children with absent or dysfunctional families.

January 1983 Associated Press voters select Penn State as college football’s national champion for the 1982 season.

January 1987 Associated Press voters select Penn State as college football’s national champion for the 1986 season.

1994 Boy known as Victim 7 in the report meets Sandusky through The Second Mile program at about the age of 10.

1994-95 Boy known as Victim 6 meets Sandusky at a Second Mile picnic at Spring Creek Park when he is 7 or 8 years old.

1995-96 Boy known as Victim 5, meets Sandusky through The Second Mile when he is 7 or 8, in second or third grade.

1996-97 Boy known as Victim 4, at the age of 12 or 13, meets Sandusky while he is in his second year participating in The Second Mile program.

1996-98 Victim 5 is taken to the locker rooms and showers at Penn State by Sandusky when he is 8 to 10 years old.

Jan. 1, 1998 Victim 4 is listed, along with Sandusky’s wife, as a member of Sandusky’s family party for the 1998 Outback Bowl.

1998 Victim 6 is taken into the locker rooms and showers when he is 11 years old. When Victim 6 is dropped off at home, his hair is wet from showering with Sandusky. His mother reports the incident to the university police, who investigate.

Detective Ronald Schreffler testifies that he and State College Police Department Detective Ralph Ralston, with the consent of the mother of Victim 6, eavesdrop on two conversations the mother of Victim 6 has with Sandusky. Sandusky says he has showered with other boys and Victim 6′s mother tries to make Sandusky promise never to shower with a boy again but he will not. At the end of the second conversation, after Sandusky is told he cannot see Victim 6 anymore, Schreffler testifies Sandusky says, “I understand. I was wrong. I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won’t get it from you. I wish I were dead.”

Jerry Lauro, an investigator with the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, testifies he and Schreffler interviewed Sandusky, and that Sandusky admits showering naked with Victim 6, admits to hugging Victim 6 while in the shower and admits that it was wrong.

The case is closed after then-Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decides there will be no criminal charge.

June 1999 Sandusky retires from Penn State but still holds emeritus status.

Dec. 28, 1999 Victim 4 is listed, along with Sandusky’s wife, as a member of Sandusky’s family party for the 1999 Alamo Bowl.

Summer 2000 Boy known as Victim 3 meets Sandusky through The Second Mile when he is between seventh and eighth grade.

Fall 2000 A janitor named James Calhoun observes Sandusky in the showers of the Lasch Football Building with a young boy, known as Victim 8, pinned up against the wall, performing oral sex on the boy. He tells other janitorial staff immediately. Fellow Office of Physical Plant employee Ronald Petrosky cleans the showers at Lasch and sees Sandusky and the boy, who he describes as being between the ages of 11 and 13.

Calhoun tells other physical plant employees what he saw, including Jay Witherite, his immediate supervisor. Witherite tells him to whom he should report the incident. Calhoun was a temporary employee and never makes a report. Victim 8′s identity is unknown.

March 1, 2002 A Penn State graduate assistant enters the locker room at the Lasch Football Building. In the showers, he sees a naked boy, known as Victim 2, whose age he estimates to be 10 years old, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. The graduate assistant tells his father immediately.

March 2, 2002 In the morning, the graduate assistant calls coach Joe Paterno and goes to Paterno’s home, where he reports what he has seen.

March 3, 2002 Paterno calls Tim Curley, Penn State athletic director to his home the next day and reports a version of what the grad assistant had said.

March 2002 Later in the month the graduate assistant is called to a meeting with Curley and senior vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz. The grad assistant reports what he has seen and Curley and Schultz say they will look into it.

March 27, 2002 (approximate) The graduate assistant hears from Curley. He is told that Sandusky’s locker room keys are taken away and that the incident has been reported to The Second Mile. The graduate assistant is never questioned by university police and no other entity conducts an investigation until the graduate assistant testifies in grand jury in December 2010.

2005-2006 Boy known as Victim 1 says that he meets Sandusky through The Second Mile at age 11 or 12.

Spring 2007 During the 2007 track season, Sandusky begins spending time with Victim 1 weekly, having him stay overnight at his residence in College Township, Pa.

Spring 2008 Termination of contact with Victim 1 occurs when he is a freshman in a Clinton County high school. After the boy’s mother calls the school to report sexual assault, Sandusky is barred from the school district attended by Victim 1 from that day forward and the matter is reported to authorities as mandated by law.

Early 2009 An investigation by the Pennsylvania attorney general begins when a Clinton County, Pa., teen boy tells authorities that Sandusky has inappropriately touched him several times over a four-year period.

September 2010 Sandusky retires from day-to-day involvement with The Second Mile, saying he wants to spend more time with family and handle personal matters.

March 2011 Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot-News reports that grand jury is investigating Sandusky on allegations of indecent assault against a teenage boy. The Patriot-News reports that five people with knowledge of the case said the grand jury has been meeting for 18 months and has called witnesses, including Paterno and Curley. Penn State declines comment.

Nov. 5, 2011 Sandusky is arrested and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts

Nov. 7, 2011 Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly says Paterno is not a target of the investigation into how the school handled the accusations. But she refuses to say the same for university president Graham Spanier. Curley and Schultz, who have stepped down from their positions, surrender on charges that they failed to alert police to complaints against Sandusky.

Nov. 8, 2011 Possible ninth victim of Sandusky contacts state police as calls for ouster of Paterno and Spanier grow in state and beyond. Penn State abruptly cancels Paterno’s regular weekly news conference.

Nov. 9, 2011 Paterno announces in the morning he’ll retire at the end of the season, but the university’s board of trustees rules later that Paterno and Spanier are out effective immediately. Defensive coordinator Tom Bradley is named interim coach and provost Rodney Erickson is named interim university president

Bishop Eddie Long Had Fifth Accuser in Sexual Misconduct Lawsuit!

by Loren Due · Comments (0)

29 Jul

By DALE RUSSELL/myfoxatlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. – The FOX 5 I-Team has uncovered that there was a fifth accuser in the Bishop Eddie Long sexual misconduct case. He never filed a lawsuit and his name was kept a secret, but Centino Kemp’s allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long brought him front and center into the recent settlement negotiations.

Senior I-Team reporter Dale Russell has crisscrossed the city of Atlanta searching for the mysterious fifth young man. Centino Kemp, sometimes called Centinio, is young– barely 22. We’re told he met Bishop Long years ago. He has Long’s name tattooed on his wrist, and he is currently recording songs written from the perspective of an angry lover.

For nearly two months, Russell searched all over Atlanta for Centino Kemp, and finally caught up with him leaving this small recording studio. He was happy to talk about his music. But he didn’t want to talk about anything else.

The well-known sex scandal involving Bishop Eddie Long, began when four young men, all former members of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, filed suit accusing the bishop of lavishing money, trips and gifts on the young adult s, while having sexual contact with them.

The case was finally settled in secret back in May. Sources tell us an undisclosed amount of money was paid to the young men. Bishop Long, in court papers, denied the allegations and later issued a statement saying it was time to move forward.

Now, the I-Team has learned that after the initial lawsuits were filed , Centino Kemp came forward with similar allegations of sexual misconduct against Bishop Long. Our sources say he became involved in the settlement talks. He was the mystery man. Though his name was never made public, the I-Team has learned he may have played a significant role in the mediation.

Our source says Kemp has been taking part in countless $100 an hour sessions in Atlanta recording studios for the past two months.

Critics urge removal of gay signs!

by drdue · Comments (0)

17 Jan

SCHENECTADY — Billboards trying to drum up community support for gay black men were criticized Monday as a pastor, a daycare provider and a City Council member called for the billboards to come down.

The Rev. Alfred Thompkins, of Calvary Tabernacle, said the “I am gay” billboard message only encourages troubled youth to embrace homosexuality.

“A thirteen-year-old looks at these billboards and says, ‘That must be it, I must be gay,’?” he said. “That goes directly against God’s purpose. As a resident of Schenectady, a pastor who works with young people, with families, frankly I’m really bothered by the message these send.”

The billboards offer three messages, showing gay men with their families, in church and on a basketball court. Each message starts with the announcement “I am gay,” in large letters, and concludes with, “We have always been a part of this community.”

They were designed by In Our Own Voices, a gay advocacy group in Albany. The state Department of Health paid for the billboards as part of an effort to find a more effective way to reduce the HIV infection rate, which has disproportionately hit gay and bisexual black men. Last year, the Centers for Disease Control said the epidemic had reached such a level that new methods must be found to encourage men to use condoms.

But there is no overt mention of HIV on the billboards. In Our Own Voices is instead hoping that greater acceptance of homosexuality could lead men to make healthier choices.

Daycare provider Pamela Spicer told the City Council that the billboards were so vague they were worthless.

“These messages are a failure. I think the Department of Health needs their money back,” she said. “The intent is to instruct them not to spread HIV if they have it … That does not come across in the message.”

Instead, she said, the billboards allow “inappropriate sexual expression.”

She argued that the messages should be limited to adult business zones — mainly industrial areas at the outskirts of the city.

She told the council that her clients read the billboards as she drives them to events in the city. She offers daycare to a 2-year-old, 4-year-old and 8-year-old.

“When I’m driving them to the Schenectady Public Library and they say, ‘What does gay mean?’ how do I answer that question?” she said. “How do I expose them to such content?”

Thompkins compared gay people to thieves and liars, saying he did not want anyone to join the ranks of sinners.

City Councilman Joseph Allen agreed with both speakers, although he admitted that he hadn’t noticed the billboards.

“Now, I don’t care if you’re gay, straight or whatever, but I don’t think it’s necessary to advertise for them,” he said. “This is not kosher, as far as I’m concerned.”

He said the billboards could encourage teenagers to become gay.

“An adult, fine, you can do what you want,” he said. “But who’s going to read these? Young people, vulnerable kids. They don’t say, ‘Adult only.’?”

He called for legislation that would require billboard owners to get their messages approved by the council.

But Corporation Counsel L. John Van Norden said that would be illegal, citing the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech.

“You can’t control what people say, as hateful and objectionable as it may be,” he said.

Council President Gary McCarthy and Councilwoman Margaret King agreed that they have no control over the billboards. They declined to say whether they agreed with Allen’s objection to the message.

“It really becomes a free speech issue,” McCarthy said.

In other business, Councilman Carl Erikson was sworn in again, six months after his last swearing-in. He was appointed to the seat last June and had to win the November election to keep it.

As he put his hand on the Bible, his infant son solemnly added his own hand and patted the book enthusiastically. Then the baby tried to pull his father’s hand away.

Erikson had to grip the Bible through the second half of his oath as his wife struggled to hold the book and their son. Just as son Carl began to cry, Erikson got to the end, rushing to say, “to the best of my ability, so help me God.”

Erikson then delivered a speech in which he urged the council to take “bold risks” to improve the city, rather than simply doing what they’ve always done.

His wife listened from the doorway, where she was soothing their son outside the echoing council chamber.

Justin Bieber — Homophobic Bullying Victim!

by drdue · Comments (0)

18 Oct

Justin Bieber was on the receiving end of the kind of hate-filled bullying that has made headlines recently — during a laser tag match Friday night, he defended himself from an aggressive kid who referred to Bieber as a “faggot” … sources close to the investigation tell TMZ.

We’re told that during the game of laser tag, one kid went out of his way to target Justin repeatedly (a violation of the code of honor of laser tag, if there is such a thing).

Sources say that Bieber became frustrated when the kid cornered him and wouldn’t stop shooting and when Bieber told him, “That’s enough” … the kid responded, “What are you gonna do about it, faggot?”

We’re told a shocked Bieber replied, “Excuse me?” Sources say the other kid responded, “You’re a faggot” and then put his hand out toward Bieber and Bieber pushed it away as he left.

Contrary to several news reports, we’re told Bieber never struck the other boy.

Law enforcement tells TMZ it was the boy’s father who filed the complaint hours later … and our source says the father was heard at the scene repeatedly telling people, “I’m a lawyer.”

The police investigation is ongoing, but our sources say police already know the fault does not lie with Bieber.

Atlanta LGBT pastor speaks out against Long!

by drdue · Comments (0)

10 Oct

Pastor Dennis A. Meredith, of Atlanta’s Tabernacle Baptist Church, home to many of the city’s LGBT Christians, speaks out against Eddie Long’s recent statement on Sunday where the megachurch pastor addressed his congregation, followed by a short statement to the media.

The video of Meredith was submitted to CNN’s “iReport” by a member of Meredith’s congregation. The clip was shot by independent filmmaker Jessica Imoto Harney.

Pastor Meredith identities himself as a gay, bi-sexual man and calls himself an “affirming pastor.” He addresses the controversy in which Long is accused of sexually abusing four young men. Meredith seems to side with the young men, stating he is concerned and disappointed. The pastor also reveals that he is saddened that no compassion has been offered to the accusers.

Meredith is one of the first pastors in the Atlanta Christian community to publicly speak out against Long, and states that his church has been the object of “dehumanizing language.” Meredith says that members of his church have left and joined Long’s church because they disagreed with his point of view that God loves everybody despite their sexual orientation.

According to a 2007 New York Times article, Meredith changed his preachings against homosexuality when his son revealed he was gay. Apparently shortly after, and in the clip, Meredith admits to coming out to his congregation, stating it was a process.

“Instead of him having the courage to stand up there and confess and to tell the truth about what he has done and who he is, he once again hides behinds his pulpit, and hides behind the crowds of people who protect him.” Meredith says that something should be said to end the homophobia that comes from so many African American pulpits.

Meredith, who clearly finds Long to be guilty of the accusations, continues, “I’m not saying he has to come out, but its an opportunity to tell the truth, and to bring healing to the community.”

Meredith says directly to Long, “You don’t go around dehumanizing this population while at the same time, doing what they do.”

Eddie Long addressed his congregation again on Tuesday evening. The pastor called the allegations and the media’s coverage “spiritual warfare.” A clip of his statement can be seen here.

Lawsuits accuses Bishop Eddie Long of sexual coercion; Long “adamantly denies,” do you believe this?

by drdue · Comments (0)

22 Sep

Two DeKalb County men filed lawsuits Tuesday alleging Bishop Eddie Long, leader of one of the Southeast’s largest churches, coerced them into having sex with him in exchange for lavish trips, cars and cash.

Long is the nationally known minister of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in DeKalb County, with more than 30,000 members.

The pastor’s attorney, Craig Gillen, adamantly denied the allegations Tuesday.

“It is unfortunate that these two young men have chosen to take this course of action.”

The plaintiffs, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Maurice Robinson, 20, began having inappropriate relations with Long at the age of 16, which is the legal age of consent in Georgia, said their attorney B.K. Bernstein.

“It’s not just these two. There are young men around him at all times,” said attorney B.J. Bernstein said. “There are kids at risk now.”

Bernstein said she has not contacted DeKalb law enforcement because of Long’s ties to so many DeKalb officials.

Gillen speculated that Robinson filed the suit against Long because he was arrested in June 2010 for burglary at the church. Robinson and Anthony Boyd, 19, of Decatur, were arrested June 23 and charged with stealing items such as an iPad and an iPhone, according to a police report obtained by the AJC.

A security camera at the church on Woodrow Road in Lithonia caught most of it on videotape.

Bernstein, said Robinson committed the burglary in retaliation after learning that Long was involved with other men, including Flagg, Bernstein said.

“He lashed out,” Bernstein said. “But if it weren’t for that act, we wouldn’t know about this. He talked to his friends and learned Long had other ‘spiritual sons.’”

A few minutes before evening Bible study on Tuesday night, several members were shocked by the allegations.

Dwayne Jenkins, 47, of Lithonia, started attending New Birth a month ago, but is not yet a member. “It gives you a little shake,” he said of the lawsuit. “It’s his word against his word. Only Mr. Long and the two men know what happen. I’m not here to judge, I’m here to get close to the Lord. The lord will take care of it.”

“That don’t even make sense,” said Hillary Lewis, 52, carrying Bible in her hand. “I like the message that he brings,” the Snellville resident said. “He brings things down to earth.”

Samuel Midgette, 40, of Atlanta called Long “a good man – a man of God. He wants to help everybody… That man loves his wife. When you believe in your pastor, you believe in your pastor.”

The lawsuit names Long, New Birth and the Longfellows Youth Academy as defendants. According to the suit, the academy is a program for young men aged 13 through 18.

According to the lawsuit, Robinson, 20, and his family joined New Birth in 2003. His mother enrolled him in the Longfellow Academy when he was 14.

The suit alleges Long began to spend personal time with Robinson when he was 15 years old. At some point, the suit alleges, Robinson was placed on the payroll.

Long allegedly took Robinson on several overnight trip to various destinations, including New York and Turks & Caicos. The suit says Long took Robinson to Auckland, New Zealand for Robinson’s birthday in 2008.

During that trip, Robinson alleges in the lawsuit, Long regularly “engaged in sexual touching and other sexual acts.”

In separate trips, the men flied on Long’s personal jet and shared a bed with him at the hotels, Bernstein said. Long used the alias “Dick Tracy” when he checked into the hotel, the suit alleges.

However, the bulk of the relations occurred on the mega church’s property, including inside Long’s “guest house” on Snapfinger Road in south DeKalb

Flagg and Robinson’s parents both moved to DeKalb specifically to attend Newbirth. The two men met while enrolled in the church’s Longfellow Academy, which is for teenage boys age 13-17.

While at the academy, Flagg and Robinson developed relationships with Long, Bernstein said. They began spending more time with him and were placed on the church’s payroll, the suit alleges.

By the time they turned 16, Long began taking them on separate trips and inviting them to his home, Bernstein said. At one point, Flagg and Long held a private “marriage-like” ceremony where they exchanged vows, Bernstein said.

Long bought Flagg a Ford Mustang, the suit alleges.

While Long likely cannot be charged with a crime in Georgia because the men consented, he could faces charges in other states, Bernstein said.

The sex acts occurred while the men were between the ages of 16 and 20, the suit alleges.

The attorney said she has asked the FBI to investigate allegations that Long had sex with the men in hotels in New York, Dallas, Tennessee, New Zealand and other areas.

Long was named 21 years ago as pastor of the then 300-member church that would become New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

It has expanded beyond its Lithonia home and has satellite churches in other cities. The 240-acre Lithonia campus is like a small town; the church claims 25,000 members and promotes a myriad of ministries, such as the annual Hosea Feed the Hungry and help for the homeless and addicted.

Aussie swimmer Rice ripped for tweet, who does she think she is?

by drdue · Comments (0)

06 Sep

Top Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice was slammed after a posting a homophobic slur on her Twitter page, The (Sydney) Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

Rice, one of the sport’s glamor girls, posted a message after Australia’s rugby union team, the Wallabies, defeated South Africa’s side the Springboks in Bloemfontein Saturday.

The Olympic gold medal winner tweeted: “Suck on that f**gots,” adding; “Probs the best game I’ve ever seen!! Well done boys”.

The comment, which Rice later removed, triggered a furious reaction from openly gay former Australian rugby league player, Ian Roberts.

“She is an idiot and anyone who continues to endorse her as an athlete is an idiot as well,” Roberts said.

“And I say that with a very sad tone in my voice. What a fool.”

Acknowledging the comment, Rice told the Telegraph in an email: “I made a comment on Twitter last night in the excitement of the moment.

“I did not mean to cause offence and I apologise. I have deleted it from the site.”

Roberts, one of a handful of openly gay athletes and a devoted gay-rights advocate, said it was “inexcusable.”

“It’s never acceptable to belittle gay people.”

Last month Rice was linked with one of the players in the Wallabies team, flyhalf Quade Cooper.

It was reported the couple were regularly in contact as he provided comfort from South Africa following her announcement that she would miss the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in October because a chronic shoulder injury requires surgery.

Homosexual Coach Gets Fired from Christian School!

by drdue · Comments (0)

23 Jul

A man sacked from his coaching job at a prestigious Christian school because he was gay says he never felt so small.

The 28-year-old, who did not want to be named, had taken up a role as a netball coach at Middleton Grange School in Christchurch, but was told he could not continue because the board found his sexual orientation to be a problem.

The school says he was given the option of returning to the school, but by that time had already moved on.

“At first I was shocked. I’ve never felt so small in my life … I started to kind of blame myself,” the man said.

“It’s hard enough to go through finding yourself, and accepting yourself and being ‘out’ in the first place. Having to go through discrimination doesn’t help.”

A gay rights group says discrimination happens far more than people realise, and it is monitoring a case of another gay man facing this at work.

Middleton Grange School has since apologised and paid an undisclosed sum to the 28-year-old, and board members committed themselves to attending a course on human rights awareness.

The man was hired in February to coach a Middleton Grange girls team. He attended the netball trials and selected a squad.

It is understood that the school board made the decision that he could not remain based on Christian teaching that homosexuality is a sin.

But principal Richard Vanderpyl said he had “huge respect” for the man.

“We’re thinking of the impact on him. We get on very well, very amicably. We care for him and respect him.

“The coach was re-offered the position, but in the meantime had, with the assistance of a school staff member, secured another position.”

The man said he was “very happy” with the resolution between himself and the school.

He was pleased the people behind the decision had attended a human rights session “so they are aware what they did was wrong and don’t do it again”.

He said it was not until he spoke to friends that he realised he had been wronged.

“It’s similar to saying I can’t be their coach because I’m Maori.”

He added that many staff and parents at the school did not support the board and principal’s actions.

Board chairman Andy Van Amyede declined to comment, citing a confidentiality agreement.

Rainbow Wellington, a group that advocates nationally for gay rights, said that while discrimination on the basis of sexuality could happen often, it did not normally lead to a sacking.

“That would be a pretty extreme case,” chairman Tony Simpson said. “What is much more likely – and we are actually monitoring a case at present – is of someone who is being harassed and bullied in the workplace by his fellow workers.

“The problem is that although the law was changed over 20 years ago, it’s much more difficult to change social attitudes.”

WATCH: Atheist Hitchens Says the Pope Needs to be Served Papers and Arrested Even if it is at the Vatican; And “Protestant” Christians Should Agree With That.

by drdue · Comments (0)

14 Apr

Where Is the Protestant Christian Outrage against These Wicked and Heinous Crimes Against Our Children and Against Humanity?

Richard Dawkins, the atheist campaigner, is planning a legal ambush to have the Pope arrested during his state visit to Britain “for crimes against humanity”.

Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, the atheist author, have asked human rights lawyers to produce a case for charging Pope Benedict XVI over his alleged cover-up of sexual abuse in the Catholic church.

The pair believe they can exploit the same legal principle used to arrest Augusto Pinochet, the late Chilean dictator, when he visited Britain in 1998.

The Pope was embroiled in new controversy this weekend over a letter he signed arguing that the “good of the universal church” should be considered against the defrocking of an American priest who committed sex offences against two boys. It was dated 1985, when he was in charge of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which deals with sex abuse cases.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. – I remember once telling my mom about my orientation. She didn’t even say that it was “just a phase”. She said I was “just upset”. Stuff like that can be really hard on a person.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. – I know a few transgenders, and it’s very sad, but very true that jobs are much harder to obtain when you are a trans in progress.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. – My sister is kind of like that for me, and I really appreciate her for it.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. – Many people talk about how “all the gay people are emo kids who kill themselves”. What do you think caused these people to commit suicide?

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. – This is similar to when my Aunt came to visit. She brought her partner with her, and my dad refused to let them stay at our house and sleep in the same bed together, so they had to get a hotel elsewhere.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. – It’s not right to not allow homosexuals to adopt. “Gay parents only raise gay children”. Yeah, right…like straight parents only raise straight children.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. – Things like this just shouldn’t happen.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. – This happens again and again.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. – I was not allowed into certain places when walking in holding hands with a woman.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. – I have a friend with that problem, because he is a female to male trans.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. – Again, I think of my Aunt.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. – “Gay people don’t deserve help.”

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. – Only men abuse people. (Sarcasm)

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. – My friend can never face his father for beating him for being gay.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. – I cut my hair, and my dad said to grow it back out, because I looked like a dyke.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. – Who wants to help them? (Sarcasm)

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me. – We go through it every day.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don’t believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. – We stopped going to my church, because my father won’t allow us to go to one that has a homosexual pastor.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most: love. – Because love is limited based on gender.
