This is a WIP. It's something my Auntie Ursula asked for, so here it is. She was the idea for the story, and she wanted it as WIP. I want constructive feedback. I want honest opinons. Gushing and cash awards are also welcome. Oh, and there's no way I'd be able to complete NaNoWriMo. I mean, yeah, I type 50 WPM, that's about 3000 WPH, but....you know...I can do this!
So, love me!!
( My firstest WIP )
So, whacha think?

This is the other side of that coin...
I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.
I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.
I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school, but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.
I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.
We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.
I am the father who fully supports his lesbian daughter and her partner, because love is universal.
I am the mother who finally learned that her homosexual son and his partner are loving, caring human beings, regardless of who they sleep with.
Fifteen years late is better than never.
I am the city clerk who handed out marriage licenses to gay couples, until the governor forced me to stop. But, during that week, I helped some people to realize their dream.
We are the children who, when our mother came out in later life, decided to accept her and her partner, and give our own children an "extra" Nana.
I am the father who realizes my gay son is just as much my son as my other two boys, and that I can be equally proud of all my boys.
Together, with love, we can make a difference. Hate will not win.

Beacause like everlydawn I think homophobia is wrong. People are born how they are, and if you're born not what you want to be, you can change. And that's good. And that's beautiful. And I love you for it.
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
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.
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.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
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 am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
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.
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.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
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.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
Repost this if you think homophobia is wrong.

And I don't normally say something like that! Texas, you are no longer the fattest state in the nation. Hell, you're not even in the top 10! Mississippi...get a move on, you're far too fucking fat! It's an epidemic in this nation, sadly enough. And I'm part of the too fucking fat in this nation, so I have no excuse. And I'm not talking about the emaciated models. I'm talking about the normal healthy weights. My goal weight is 165. I wonder if I'll ever get back there.

Anyone in the NYC/Westchester area, or if you have friends in these areas, please forward it on. I'd adopt one myself, but Sunshine is alergic and Ariel is declawed, so no new kitties! But please help!

Today, 26 years ago, was the day the music died. Dec. 8th 1980 was the day John Lennon was assassinated outside his home.
Notice, after the man who told us all to give peace a chance went on to his own eternal peace, the "ME" decade started. See a correlation?
All we are saying is give peace a chance. Bring our soldiers, sailors and airmen home.

Category: pre-slash/gen, Once a Thief, post-ep "Trial Marriage"
Rating: PG-13 for cursing
Summary: How did Vic feel after LiAnn called off the engagement?
Archive: Make Believe. All else, ask, I usually share.
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, I have no money.
Notes: This was a Peja challenge (of course) and for Aunt Ursula's birthday. I'm sorry I didn't do anything sooner. Usually I'm on top of this, since it was Aunt Ursula who wrote me my first birthday story. I'm forever grateful to her for making me feel a part of fandom. Although, the other fandoms I lurk in are pretty new and shiny, I will never feel as welcome in a fandom as when I met Aunt Ursula. Thank you. The challenge addresses Mac joining Vic in commiserating over LiAnn breaking off her engagement to Vic. Enjoy!

Rating: NC-17
Summary: What's wrong with Krycek these days?
Archive: I'll archive it myself.
Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, I have no money.
Notes: Vesta got some bad news. And the bad news needs to be offset by good-fic. Well, it's me writing so this passable stuff will have to do. I know I took a terrible-long time to do this, but I'm doing it! Here you go, Vesta, hope you're doing well! Thank you to L3 for amazing beta. If there's any other mistakes, they're all mine! Vesta, I love ya, babe.
More Notes: Oh, the line about smelling like a homeless person: do not give me grief about this. I spent a week in a hospital once, and they didn't give me anything to wash with, so I didn't wash. I was in too much pain to wash, anyway. But when I got home, I sat on my bed and took a whiff of myself and asked why no one told me I smelled like a homeless person! Actually, I screamed it.

Notes: Peja wrote the beginning, but I took over and I didn't start off with this idea. It just kinda grew and I like it! I used the last two lines of Peja's story to start off. Thank you, L3 for my FAST-ASS beta, as always, what would I do without you? And to everyone, thank you for encouraging Peja, I hope she does continue this universe!

Disclaimer: Not mine, never were, I have no money.
Notes: This just popped into my head after seeing "Critical Mass". Just wondering what would happen if we ever saw Ronon's emotions. This is my very first attempt to play in SGA, so, I hope I get things right. Just be gentle with me. Beta thanks to Lapis Lazuli, your advice was excellent, even if I didn't use all of it. Thanks! Thank you to Laura and Ruthers for your support, since I was going to junk this story. Thank you most of all to L3, once again, being there at the last minute for beta so I could post this puppy!!
