"Get to know me First."
Story of my life. A story of my life that I will eventually post more of on the blog.
BUT this isn't about me.
Well, not only about me.
Its about a lot of people like me.
How often are you judged on first glance? Judged by your race, your appearance, your gender, etc. Well, imagine being a part of the GLBT community, a permanent aspect of the human psyche that is also discriminated against, but not completely visable. Being discriminated against for being GLBT is like beginning a journey with a person you met as you get to know each other and create a friendship, then that person suddenly ditching you on the trail once they find out you're one of 'them'.
Get To Know Me First is an Post-Prop8 Anti-Prop8 campaign to teach the public the TRUTHS, and the in's about coming out and living in a gay family. They say, Don't judge a book by its cover, get to know these families and these stories before you make you choice.
Or, as I like to say, Hey, Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, buddy!
Just kidding.
