Who I am... Who I was... and waht i had could become...

If I write it:
You ´ll not belive it.

If I try to explain:
Some can´t even hear me.

If I would just tell what i can:
Some hate, some are jelouse, some ´ll only thry to dis to feeling better.

If I love:
There is apollibility to grow...

So all want to dis the Masters, and beliving beeing Batchelor you knew all better...
Have you ever think about, that with all the hate and disses; The Masters have no more intension to form develop and cultivate a aprendist... And two aprendist are just thinking to beware the right and position, fighting eatch other, so that they maybe have definitly lost, the agility to symbiosis, witch is the highest step for an aprendist, to aknowledge, that even when he is bacame a Master, it is just the next level in a challange to learn an grow in agility and intellect...

SO while all have had so mutch fun, dissing the outsiders, is here someone who is able to be...
Friend, symbiosed trainee and learn partner, and maybe can be like a gently teen while making friendly bodycontact?

And so carreers had been destroied, chances lost, future developments sloved down for decades, ....

WHY ?

My story is very simple: now we have for the first time in our lifes a president in the USA that speaks openly and personally accept gay marriage. Thousands of conservative people including the religious are moving against him in order to destroy him and his courage. What are we doing? What are we all gays and lesbians and bisexuals and transgenders are doing to support him? what? Why not take the chance! Gays of the world, please stand UP!

Press Release: Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation Established Release Date 10/11/2011 Upon the establishment of the Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation, Federal Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger states: With Jörg Litwinschuh, the Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation now has a face. The foundation can begin with its work. The research and education program of the new foundation will make an important contribution toward openness in society. In an open society, there must be no discrimination against people with different lifestyles. With the aim of eliminating discrimination and establishing equal status for people with homosexual lifestyles, the federal government is standing behind the work that the Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation is now actually commencing. Background: Today, Federal Justice Minister Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger appointed the communications consultant Jörg Litwinschuh as Chair of the new Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation. The former managing director of the Lesbian and Gay Association in Germany LSVD Berlin-Brandenburg and former head of its Integration and Migration Center comes from the Saarland. The Magnus Hirschfeld Federal Foundation is established under civil law as an independent foundation, and is based in Berlin. It has been granted an endowment of € 10 million. The statute provides the Chair with a fixed term of five years. Members of the Board of Trustees are nominated from the German Bundestag, five federal ministries and other members of civil society organizations. Through its education and research program, the new foundation is meant to counteract social discrimination against homosexual men and women in Germany. The injustices committed by the Nazis against homosexuals should be historically processed and documented. In addition, the life and work of the foundation's namesake Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld (1868-1935) is to be scientifically researched and presented. The Berlin physician and sexologist was a pioneer of the gay rights movement and also dealt with issues of transgender and intersex. http://www.mh-stiftung.de

LGBTI rights are human rights

Useful information about LSVD's human rights foundation, the Hirschfeld-Eddy-Foundation

Through international networking and cooperation with partner organizations in the Global South and Eastern Europe, the Hirschfeld-Eddy-Foundation provides direct assistance for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersexual (LGBTI) people being threatened.

We support national and international LGBTI-Human-Rights-Campaigns by providing information, raising public awareness and building alliances. We constantly work to convince those responsible for foreign policy, development cooperation and human rights policy. We support the work of human rights advocates and promote campaigns against homophobia and prosecution.

The Hirschfeld-Eddy-Foundation was founded in 2007 as the human rights foundation of the Lesbian and Gay Federation, Germany.
