It is hard enough to be gay when your parents do not support it and act differently towards you. I used to be extremely close with my parents, until I told them I was a lesbian. They changed the way they acted, they don't treat me the same and it is absolutely ridiculous. I am still the same person, why do they not see that? Now on top of struggling with my parents not supporting me, my girlfriend of 3 years lives in England. So as if it weren't hard enough we now have to deal with trying to get a visa to live together. In my country they don't see same sex marriage, there are no visas for it. So even though my girlfriend wants to come live here with me she can't. Love is love. There is no difference if it is a woman and a woman, or a man and a man. We should have the right to be able to apply for a same sex visa. I will most likely end up going to live in England and leaving my country because England has same sex visas and their country supports it a lot better then my own. I personally think the situation is bullshit. Were all people who cares what the gender is of the person we love. Its love and it's not right to deny rights for loving someone of the same sex.

Kate Hunt, a high school student in Florida, USA, faces prison – all because her girlfriend's anti-gay parents were angry that their daughter was dating another young woman. They went to police just two days after Kaitlyn's 18th birthday, claiming she had assaulted a minor.

If Kate is found guilty of "sexual battery" she could face 15 years in prison. But this isn't about a crime – this is about a consenting, high school romance between teenagers little more than two years apart in age. Please sign here to tell Florida Assistant State Attorney Brian Workman to drop the charges.

Hello! My Name is Victoria Jones, but people who love me call me V.v., and I am 20 years old. I am going into my third year at Azusa Pacific University, but in order for me to register for the Fall Semester (where I will be a Resident Advisor), I need to pay the school an outstanding balance of $19,280.00. The reason why this has just arisen is because for my first three semesters, my mother paid for school. But at the beginning of this year, I just came out to her as being a lesbian. She cut me off. I work over 35 hours weekly now, but sustaining myself AND paying off my balance is actually impossible. I am asking that you good people PLEASE help me. APU is my life, and if I can’t go back, I don’t know what I will do.

Thank you so much!!!
I have a page where you can donate funds. Anything counts!!

I do say that the two states should allow gay marriage like T.X. and Florida. It does keep in power

Allied NATO Government is hiding millions of infectious NON HIV AIDS cases (like mine) under the "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)" ICD-code.

My case goes up through the White House, NIH, CDC, WHO, to the United Nations. I recently testified on a federal-level in Washington, DC, and have been published 12 times on 4 continents.

UK PROGRESSIVE published one of my letters about NON HIV AIDS. This topic has been censored from mainstream media since 1992 (i.e., circa Gulf War I).

My federal testimony about NON HIV AIDS from a recent CFS/ME advisory committee meeting (Washington, DC via conference call) posted (5 minutes):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubjGm5dILpY&list;=PL600CB038194B4593&index;=11&feature;=plpp_video

the following is my friend Tom's story, in his own words

I committed statutory rape with a 15-year old male when I was 51. He was my student. I loved and love him whole-heartedly and completely, and promised him unconditional love, long before any sex took place. Human behavior is complicated and has many varieties. This is an unusual story. The government told a cartoon story with broad strokes of black and white.

I was imprisoned without bond, and had my freedom of speech taken away before I had been convicted of any crime. Newspapers printed government press releases without any checking of any facts. If necessary, I will submit to a polygraph on any statement I make, from any independent administrator. Ask those who contradict my statements if they will do the same. If a statement was proved by evidence or the victim's statements, I will put (P). I have discovered that the police falsify information, and distort and manipulate facts and testimony. My belief in the United States has been shaken.

The young man, a South American adopted into an Orthodox Jewish family, was cutting himself in September of 2009 when we met. He told me it was from the frustration with his home life, and not being allowed to be Latino or social, and being forced to observe a religion he found oppressive. He said one sister attacked him physically several times. He is a remarkable, bright, witty, and kind human being, with a fierce urge for freedom. I found him to be extraordinary. He came to see me most days, even more often after he was warned by his parents that I was homosexual, I found out later.(P) He brought a chess board in for lunches when he found out I played chess. We talked about history, religion, politics, psychology. He eventually he told me about the cutting.

I called his father, talked to the rabbis, called a psychologist, put him in touch with a former student with whom I thought he might click (heterosexual), gave him a copy of The Road Less Travelled, the best book I thought on how one gets happy. He kept cutting. I was frantic to help. I promised to love him unconditionally, forever. We loved talking, and I hoped I could make up whatever he lacked. I promised to do anything in my power to help him be happy. I sent him affirmation texts. (Know you are loved, you are great as you are, say "I am a wonderful person," etc.)

Some months later, on the phone, he said we should have sex. I told him that was a "really bad idea."

Some time later, he said he was playing tennis next to my building, and he would come by to work on a project. He came up, and said he was not there to work on the project, but to have sex. I tried to talk him out of it. (P) I said I could love him without sex. (P) He said I didn't have to. I said he did not owe me sex for love. He said he knew he did not owe, he wanted it, and he said I did too. I said sex was not that important, that he should not ask such a thing just for sex. He said it was for true love, that we were soul mates, we would be together forever. I said if we were soul mates then, we would be so in a few years. He said, true, but since we were we did not have to wait. Many times, he said he needed it to live. He confirmed at trial that he believed that. (P) He believed he loved me and that I loved him. (P) I said he should be with someone his age. He said he was attracted to older men. (P) I said everyone would assume it was my fault when it came out (even years later if we were together). He said he would tell them he picked me, and besides, we would be together. He said he had known what he wanted for a long time. He said such things happened all the time. Nothing happened that day (Feb,. 13 2010) We agreed to work it out. The conversation continued the next day with many more reasons for no on my part. He finally said if it was not me, it would be some other older white guy. (P) I agreed on February 14.

I have tried to be a good person my whole life. I try not to manipulate people. I love people without sex; sex and love are not the same thing. I do not even like to have sex with someone drunk, even a boyfriend because of the consent issue. I have always tried to tell the truth. Even in teaching, I would tell students the reason I was doing something (quizzes are designed to force you to read, etc.) I have tried to help the outcasts, with chess and theater. Many students said I saved lives, saved souls.

No combination of things could have made me give in like those. I had to save the life of someone I loved, a soul mate with love so true that 35 years made no difference, and if I didn't do it he would go do it somewhere else. I justified it by saving his life, not denying true love, and protecting him from those who did not love him. It was clearly wrong, but has anyone been subject to such arguments in such a situation? He said, trust me, believe me.

I thought that rejection just might kill him. I thought he wanted to be trusted and believed. I rationalized that the release of sex with someone he loved might stop the cutting. I let myself believe. He said in a statement later he did it for power and control. (P) The cutting stopped for four months until another fight with his sister.

Once I agreed I did whatever I could to make him happy. He was very advanced sexually. He claimed that I was the first, but close examination of his statement excluded from trial makes that claim dubious. He wanted to try light bondage and spanking. I always did what he asked. The prosecutor loved to say "penetrated with objects." I was the far more often penetrated. Everything done was done mutually. He was very happy, almost giddy. Only he could arrange meeting times. I came when he called, and did what he asked. He estimated 50 to 60 times in 5 months. The frequency with which he chose should have been proof of a loving if wrong relationship; I had no ability to arrange to see him. The schedule was his. He repeatedly texted and told me "You saved my life."

I had to move to Virginia to make more money. He said he wanted us to be together, so I remained faithful. I saw him that Christmas break, once, and it was clear he was no longer interested. He had been sleeping with a number of other older men. (P This is factual from his statements, not speculation.) I did not know that until my arrest. He called me to officially end the relationship in January. I was heart-broken, but I never raised his vow of eternal love. I tried to continue loving him as a friend. We soon emailed, and I never asked to renew the sexual relationship. I offered to be a best friend (my choice) or never talk to him if that was what he needed. (P) His emails say things like "Thank you...for everything," and "Not worry about you? Not possible." The emails are available.

He broke contact in early June of 2011. I heard by email from someone claiming to be him in October of that year, but it was not him. I denied the sex, thinking it was his family. I promised to do anything to help him if HE asked, and ended contact with the impostor. It was a Florida law enforcement agent. That was my first offer to turn myself in.

He got in trouble for his sexual contact with men. He refused to cooperate with police. (P) He was locked in psychological facilities for a year. He was brainwashed into changing the facts of what happened, (P) and his attitude was reversed. As far as I can tell, he was locked up for being actively gay. He was 17 for most of that time. In May 2012 he cooperated with police, and contacted me. When he called, I said I was ready to come tell the truth if that was what he needed. My second offer. He said he wanted me to come see him (reversed by police) and that he could not wait until he was 18. (P) I was confused by his previous rejection and now reversal. The policeman, as the young man, sent me sexually suggestive texts and emails, begging for me to renew the relationship, and made me promise to say something on the phone. It was the young man on the phone. I promised, and the young man initiated phone sex at the behest of the police. (P) I tried to decline; he said he had "needs." (P) I came to Florida and was arrested, after telling him twice more on the phone I would come and tell the truth. He was three months away from his 18th birthday at this point. The federal age of consent is 16, but they charged me under the Florida age of 18, but using a federal charge that carried a sentence of 10 to life.

The young man's police statement on which the indictment was based was largely disproved at trial. (P) The federal government charged me under an internet predator law, convinced that there were other victims. The police directed or suggested the false testimony. (P) They said I showed him child porn, which makes no sense. This was dismissed on sentencing, but they used it twice in trial to disgust the jury. They kept hinting at trial and sentencing about other victims, who do not exist, in spite of running a hotline number that was carried in the US and England. I find men from the age of maturity to 30ish more attractive sexually than older men, though not exclusively. Do heterosexuals do this as well? Does a 50 year old heterosexual fantasize about 50 year-ld women? I tried NOT to see students outside of school. I would never seduce anyone; the greatest attraction for me is someone's desire for me.

When the other victims did not appear, they brought in the FBI grooming expert to say I groomed him, since the evidence of persuading, enticing, inducing or coercing was slim. No grooming scenario exists in which the "groomer" waits for the "victim" to ask for sex, and then tries to dissuade the "victim." As unlikely as my story sounds, at trial he admitted that he, not I, proposed sex, that I tried to talk him out of it (and thus he talked me into it), that he BELIEVED he needed it to live, that I said I could love him without sex, and that he said he would find another older white guy if I said no. He AFFIRMED these at trial.

The interpretation of the law for induce as "cause" is to "allow to happen," when it should mean force. Under this absurd reading, this law has a LOWER threshold of guilt than statutory rape; a text message saying "OK, I will pick you up," would convict, without any contact. If every gay teen who texted an older lover were to be found in South Florida, there would be an army in prison. Statutory rape under federal guidelines carries a 41-51 month sentence. I was given 200 months under the persuasion statute. I had offered to plead guilty to statutory rape and it was rejected; they blamed me at sentencing for putting him through the trial.

Most heterosexual women in the same situation are sentenced to probation to two years. The application of this statute was arbitrary and unequal. The prosecutor announced to the jury that he granted that the "sex was consensual." The age of consent in Israel is 15, so in that civilized a country I would not even have committed a crime at all. The rich are sued for this. Where is the moral fairness?

Why was I prosecuted this way? Conservative politics and homosexuality. The family is Orthodox Jewish, the investigator who fashioned the testimony is Catholic, the prosecutor is Republican, and the judge voted for Rick Santorum.

I believed saving his life, or both of us believing it, would mitigate the statutory rape charge. I believed telling the truth and offering to turn myself in would mitigate. Telling the truth was the worst thing I could have done. Had I denied him when he called, and lied, nothing would have happened. I tried to be honest; rejecting him seemed to violate my vow of love.

I do not "blame" him for sleeping with other men. I do not love him less. I would have done anything for his happiness. I would have gladly NOT slept with him. I rationalized that I was being courageous to save his life and risk my own. I felt he was testing to see if my vow of eternal, unconditional love was real. He convinced me we were breaking convention for our mutual happiness. I thought I could serve some years to save him. If it truly saved his life, I wish I could say that knowing what I do now, I would still have been loyal enough to say yes. I would not have had the courage. I am sorry it happened either way.

Does love matter? Does fairness matter? Does the truth matter? When does a person have sexual and religious freedom? Can a conservative family change those by locking someone in psychological units, to change attitudes and alter facts? Does gay sex justify any level of charges, and any lying by the government?

I hope the young will save my life some day.

Please tell my story.

i have been gay for five years. i'm fifteen so thats about a third of my life. i'm a male, some would call ginger, but the main reason why i am here is because i haven't told my parents yet. the reason why is because my father said he would disown me! i know i shouldn't keep something like this a secret, but i still do. plus i can't have a relationship! this really bothers me because i live in a small town in indiana and there aren't many dateable teens out there for me. i still haven't found anybody, and i'm starting to lose hope. i keep leaving major hints lying around, but know one seems to care! i feel like if i shouted at everyone the truth they wouldn't even hear me! i'm sick and tired of being alone. i need someone, but i just can't find the poor sod!

Hello,
My name is Ryan Fleming. I am a member of the Aspen Stage production of "Unmarried in America; Prop 8 on Trial". This production will be representing Region 7 in the American Association of Community Theatre National competition.
This play was written by my friend Kristin Carlson, of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. She spent six months combing through the transcripts from the Prop 8 trial in California. She then got in contact with one of the Plaintiffs of the case, Ryan Kendall. After sharing his life story, he then put her in contact with many of his friends in the gay community. After compiling all of these stories, she then created a masterpiece that weaves trial testimony with life experiences that relate to the testimony. The play leaps from moments of brilliant comedy, to trial banter, then heart rending experiences and back to comedy.
We have been working with Kristin on refining this play for the last two years. We performed a staged reading at the Gay Ski Week 2011. Kristin then created a cutting that complies with the rules for the AACT rules, and we performed it for the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition competition in Salida, CO 2012. We won 2nd place and moved on to the regional competition. There was a problem with the Region 7 competition this year so the adjudicators came to us while we did a fund raising performance in Carbondale, CO on March 23, 2013. It took the judges what seemed all of fifteen minutes to decide that we should represent region 7 at the National Competition. The National competition will be held in Carmel, Indiana on June 17 - 23, 2013.
After the March 22 and 23 performances we had an audience feedback session. Everyone was amazed at how Kristin was able to take an issue like marriage equality and not make the message "preachy". Many were amazed to find that she is also married to a Lutheran pastor and that he is a member of the cast. These are truly amazing people who want to see justice brought to everyone. The whole company of this production agrees that the most important thing to come from our efforts would be for the world to see this masterpiece and hear its message of love.
Please contact Wendy Moore, the production director, if you would like to cover this story. 001-970-948-5121

Why is being yourself so wrong? Lesbian, gay, bisexual, straight, and transgender will always find love no matter how much it is hated upon. You are you, I am me, and everyone is who they are, not what they choose. Is our society really that crooked that its thought of as a choice and we can be "saved" because its not a choice, we don't want or need to be saved. We are happy the way we are. I can honestly say I live and love that I am lesbian. I have been me through all the crap I have been put through. I lost a relationship with my mother, that one person you so desparately want to understand and be there for you no matter what. She wasn't there for me. She hated that I was and will always be lesbian. It hurts to lose someone, but It kills to lose your very own mother. I move forward though because I know that I need to make my life MY life. We will always have those people who won't understand, but if we stand together and never stop fighting for our rights and own love they can't do anything to stop us. We will be the ones sleeping comfortably at night.

Hello my name is Daria and I am a producer in the NYC area, I am currently working on my latest project which I believe may interest you! I am currently in pre production of my latest film called "The Honor" this film is a heart wrenching, dramatic story about the love of a bi racial lesbian couple, whom despite the scrutiny from their peers and family they pursue their relationship anyway. After much tirany the protagonists mother ends up having her lover and soul mate killed, this story goes through the very struggles of bi racial and homosexual couples do today, and ends with a triumphant and revelating reveal. I am personally a huge advocate for gay/lesbian rights as well as bi racial and bi ethnical rights, this movie is my baby and the script was given to me along side of a dozen others and I immediately knew which story I would then make come to life. If you could be of any assistance with this project I would be more then happy to mention your organization in our film and of course give you credits. This is a story very close to my heart and getting this film the recognition it deserves is my number one priority. If you would like a copy of our script I would be more then happy to send it to you, or any more information! I truly truly hope to speak with you soon! Thank you for you time.

Sincerely, Daria
Producer of "The Honor"

Father of Slain SEAL: Wants to Know Who Made the Decision Not to Save My Son? Lars Larson

Mr. Woods, the father Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attack at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, reveals details of meeting Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the memorial service for the slain Americans at Andrews Air Force Base only days after the attack. And, in a recent radio appearance, Woods publicly questions who made the call not to send in back-up forces to possibly save his son’s life, as well as the three other Americans killed in Benghazi (which includes the American ambassador to Libya).

When [Obama] came over to our little area” at Andrew Air Force Base, says Woods, “he kind of just mumbled, you know, ‘I’m sorry.’ His face was looking at me, but his eyes were looking over my shoulder like he could not look me in the eye. And it was not a sincere, ‘I’m really sorry, you know, that you’re son died,’ but it was totally insincere, more of whining type, ‘I’m sorry.’”

Woods says that shaking President Obama’s hands at his son’s memorial service was “like shaking hands with a dead fish.”

“It just didn’t feel right,” he says of his encounter with the commander in chief. “And now
that it’s coming out that apparently the WH situation room was watching our people die in real time, ( now we learn from 2 drones) as this was happening,” Woods says, he wants answers on what happened—and why there was no apparent effort to save his son’s life.

“Well, this is what Hillary did,” Woods continues. “She came over and, you know, did the same thing—separately came over and talked with me. I gave her a hug, shook her hand. And she did not appear to be one bit sincere—at all. And you know, all she mentioned was that thing about, we’re going to have that person arrested and prosecuted that did the video. That was the first time I had even heard about anything like that.”

“Apparently even the State Department had a live stream ( 2 drones we now learn) and was aware of their calls for help. My son wasn’t even there. He was at a safe house about a mile away. He got the distress call; he heard them crying for help; that’s why he and Glen risked their lives to go that extra mile just to take care of the situation. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only one received that distress call—you know, come save our lives … I’m sure that other people in the military, in the State Department, in the White House, received that same call that he would receive. And I’m sure that most military people would jump at the chance … to protect that life [and] not leave anyone behind.”

Woods made clear that he isn't "mad," but that he wants to the "truth" to be told because he feels " abandoned."

Woods says he was told by military officials that the military could have "come above [the area] and completely carpeted area," and therefore saved the officials in Benghazi, Libya. But that someone gave the command for the American military not to save the lives of the Americans under attack.

"When I heard, you know, that there's a very good chance that the White House as well as other members of the military knew what was going on and obviously someone had to say, don't go rescue them. Because every person in the military--their first response [would be], we're going to go rescue them. We need to find out who it was that gave that command--do not rescue them." Woods will be on with Judge Jeanne this weekend.

The mother of the other seal was told to just fill out a from to learn what happened to her son.and was not allowed to view the body of her dead son. Impeach, fire and many need to be prosecuted for dereliction of duty and relieved of command.

____________________________________

You have to wonder, since we now know the White House watched the drones for 7 hours as it was happening --- and did nothing to call in military help stationed in Italy (could've been there in 1 hour);

Rand Paul said: Where the h*** were the Marines? Why in the h*** did you send them home?

Those are just a few of my questions for Barack Obama about the tragic situation in Libya where four Americans - including our U.S. Ambassador - were murdered by radical jihadists.

I’m outraged that the 16-person security team assigned to protect our Ambassador was sent home, and there were no uniformed Marines guarding him.

I’m outraged that the DC-3 plane that could have helped get people out of the country was taken away before the attacks.
---------------------------------------------------

There were 17,000 (some were marines) and other personnel guarding the embassy in Iraq;

There was supposed to be a plane stationed at the embassy in Libya to get them out if they were in danger. It was taken from them on May 4th;

16 armed personnel had been there -- and requested to stay, because they knew the ambassador was in danger. Who ordered them out?

Why did the White House leave the gay ambassador unprotected (remove his protection) and watch his murder?

Why did Obama send a gay man to a country that kills gays as part of their religion?


Obama mentions his "muslim faith": http://youtu.be/bMUgNg7aD8M

Did he set him up to have him killed because muslims over there kill gays?

He told the emmisary to Russia he'd have more flexibility after his re-election; and he bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia; will he also use "more flexibility" in allowing the muslim terrorists to harm and kill gays here -- with impunity?

Did he influence the Democratic Party to let an Imam pray that sharia law will be instituted in the US? -- which calls for killing of all gays and slavery of all women? We have been betrayed.
This is not a political question. It is a question of murder. Justice needs to be done. Everyone needs to be warned.

My name is Mikhail Sebastian. I am 39 years old, former citizen of USSR. I have been living in the USA for 16 years now as stateless gay person without country and citizenship since the dissolution of former Soviet Union. I am registered stateless person with UNHCR. On December 29, 2011 I have traveled for New Year holiday to the US territory of American Samoa in South Pacific. On my way back to Los Angeles I was barred from entering USA as I was told by immigration authorities that since I left the mainland of the US I in fact self-deported myself from USA. I have no country to go to, no country to claim as a stateless person but my long-term residency was in the USA.

I previously lived in several republics of former Soviet Union and the last one was Turkmenistan where homosexuality is punishable by law up to 5 years in prison. I came to the USA to seek protection, safety. Now I am stranded in the US territory fighting with federal authorities to allow me to return back home to Los Angeles. My case is now with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.

I need your help to advocate for my plight, to urge US Government to grant my humanitarian parole so I can return to my productive life in the United States.

International Stateless Persons Organization has created a petition for me including petition from my friends. I would need to raise the awareness with US Government about the plight of stateless people who are not protected by current immigration law.

Well it's a funny one, the day when a man is proud to lay with another man. Why not just pick up a fun and end it this is not a thing to take pride in I fear bring up my son in such a place. all I can do is tell him how wrong it is and there are no rights for these people. had one tell me it's wrong not to hire them I mean come on where's might right to tell a gay to f off If don't won't one working for me. That is my straight right.

Cast the Last Stone
or
I Got Your Civil Union Hangin’
or
From Selma to Montgomery to...

Do you take this man and this woman
Do you take this woman and man
To love and to honor and cherish
Like only a good Christian can

Will you throw a few stones at the heathens
Will you tell ‘em all where they can go
Will you hate everyone who’s not like you
For the Bible tells you it’s so

Or will you listen to that old hippy Jesus
Who said Leave all the bullshit behind
And let two dear sweet lesbian lovers
Enjoy all the love they can find

{chorus}

I’ve always loved you
And you’ve always loved me
You’d think love would be easy
In the land of the free
In a world full of bitterness
Hatred
And stone
Why don’t they leave all the lovers alone?

The love police say we can’t marry
The thought police say we can’t think
While the lawmakers locked in the closet
Say we can’t watch them buy the boys drinks

I love you like your soul is my soul
I’ll stay till the end of the world
But the minister ran from the altar
When he found we’re a couple of girls

Tradition can be a real mother
Those weren’t cruise ships in the triangle trade
And the two dear sweet lesbian lovers
Know history’s meant to be made

{chorus}

Money is nice if it’s decent
And handy when push comes to shove
But the two dear sweet lesbian lovers
Know everything’s lost without love

They say Jesus he died for the sinners
And he fought so that true love can win
But the two dear sweet lesbian lovers
Forgot they should read the small print


Charlie Manson can legally marry
Any woman that’ll give him the time
But the two dear sweet lesbian lovers
Were told that their love is a crime

{chorus}

Yeah, Charlie Manson can legally marry
Any woman that’ll give him the time
But the two dear sweet lesbian lovers
THEY KNOW THAT THEIR LOVE IS SUBLIME

My suit is currently in the MCAD and will hopefully be moving forward in August. Discrimination and allowing a hostile work environment is horrible. I lived it for almost a year before US Airways accused me on writing the comments and firing me without even doing an investigation. I hired my own handwriting expert who sliced US Airways handwriting expert to pieces. It is foolish to think that companies today still discriminated against GLBT person. Help me speak out against this company and let them know enough is enough!

COMPLAINANT’S STATEMENT IN REBUTTAL

In accordance with correspondence from the MCAD, and as discussed at the Investigative Conference held on February 22, 2012 before Investigator XXXXX, the Complainant (“Mr. Wood”) hereby submits his Rebuttal to the Position Statement of the Respondent, US Airways, Inc. (“US Airways”), which he received on Friday, February 17, 2012.
For the reasons set forth below, Mr. Wood has established the requisite probable cause that he was subjected to a hostile work environment, and that he was later subjected to willful and unlawful retaliation.
I. Facts
There is no need to recount all the facts, as alleged in the Amended Complaint and the company’s response thereto. With regard to the company’s Position Statement, however, Mr. Wood notes the following.
In fn. 2 on page 2 of the Position Statement, US Airways states it lacks sufficient information about the statements attributed to The Director. Mr. Wood, however, has alleged there was a witness to the statements. See Amended Complaint (“Am. Compl.”) ¶ 5.
In paragraph 2 on page 3 of the Position Statement, US Airways denies knowledge of two instances of graffiti (found in August and September 2011, Exhibits 8 and 10 of the Am. Compl.). Mr. Wood did inform and advise HR representative XXXX and Managing Director about all the instances of graffiti, by either telephone or emails.
In the fifth paragraph on page 3, US Airways states that it “involved” Mr. Wood in the installation process. Mr. Wood responds that he was advised and directed by Station Director XXXXX with regard to where the cameras would be installed.
In the sixth paragraph on page 3 of the Position Statement, US Airways denies Mr. Wood’s allegation that he raised certain issues with The Director of HR in a conversation Mr. Wood had with on or about September 7, 2011. As alleged in the Amended Complaint, ¶ 19, this conversation was witnessed by another Manager, who could confirm that these issues were discussed at that meeting. In addition, Mr. Wood did inform Ms. XXXX from HR and the station directors of the comment made by fleet service agent XXXXX Further, the comment itself was overheard by Ramp Shift Manager XXXXXXX.
In fn. 3 on page 4, US Airways acknowledges that Mr. Wood informed Mr. XXXXX about the comments made by two union representatives. Mr. Wood hereby alleges that he also informed a HR representative about these comments, and also spoke with HR about the xxxxx matter around the same time. At the bottom of page 4 of the Position Statement, US Airways states that Mr. Wood never raised the issue of the interaction between Mr. XXXXX and Agent XXXXX. Mr. Wood, however, did mention to Mr. XXXXX , in a conversation in Mr. XXXXX office, the exchange between Mr. XXXX and Ms. XXXXX, as well as the comment made by Ms. XXXXXX.
In fn. 7 on page 5, US Airways denies any knowledge about the graffiti found on or about January 3, 2011 (exhibit 27 of the Am. Compl.). In rebuttal, Mr. Wood states that US Airways employees were aware of, observed, and/or photographed that graffiti, including XXXXX and XXXXX (who was referred to by name in this graffiti).
Finally, as for the company’s retention of a handwriting expert, Katherine Koppenhaver, and her January 19, 2012 letter, which is addressed in the Position Statement and was discussed at the Investigative Conference held on February 22, 2012, Mr. Wood offers the following in rebuttal. Mr. Wood has retained his own independent handwriting expert, Dr. Richard S. Fraser. Dr. Fraser has reviewed Ms. Koppenhaver’s letter, as well as the materials she used in forming her opinion, and found that her conclusion was flawed and unwarranted. See Exhibit 1 (March 4, 2012 letter report of Dr. Fraser). Among other things, Dr. Fraser questions Ms. Koppenhaver’s methods, and points out numerous shortcomings with her analysis and conclusion.



II. Legal Argument
Turning to the applicable law, Mr. Wood responds to the Position Statement of
US Airways as follows:
A. Mr. Wood’s Work Environment Was Sufficiently Hostile and Offensive
The factual allegations demonstrating the hostile work environment that Mr. Wood was subjected to are described in his Amended Complaint. “A hostile work environment is one that is ‘pervaded by harassment or abuse, with the resulting intimidation, humiliation, and stigmatization, and that poses a formidable barrier to the full participation of an individual in the workplace.’” Cuddyer v. Stop & Shop Supermarket Co., 434 Mass. 521, 532 (2001) quoting College-Town, Div. of Interco, Inc. v. Massachusetts Comm’n Against Discrimination, 400 Mass. 156, 162 (1987).
The hostile work environment consisted of vulgar and offensive homophobic graffiti directed specifically at Mr. Wood, over approximately nine months, and the corresponding failure by US Airways to timely and adequately respond to that graffiti. Under applicable case law, this was sufficiently severe and pervasive to constitute a hostile work environment. For example, in Salvi v. Suffolk County Sheriff’s Dept., 67 Mass. App. Ct. 596, 603-606 (2006), a hostile work environment was demonstrated by homophobic verbal statements made to the plaintiff and about the plaintiff, together with one instance of out-of-work harassment. In Belanger v. Sant-Gobain Industrial Ceramics, Inc., 1999 WL 1324190 *3-4 (Mass.Super. Feb. 24, 1999), two comments by a coworker about the plaintiff’s sexual orientation, made within one week after the plaintiff’s return to work following an absence stemming from sexual harassment by a different coworker, were sufficiently severe and pervasive for the jury to have concluded they created a hostile work environment. Accordingly, the Superior Court denied the defendant’s motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial, leaving intact the jury’s damage award of $634,000, consisting of back pay ($102,000), front pay ($372,000), emotional distress damages ($52,000) and punitive damages ($108,000). And in Messina v. Araserve, Inc., 906 F.Supp. 34 (D.Mass. 1995), two months of name calling and sexually suggestive gestures were enough to constitute a hostile environment. See also Modern Continental/Obayashi v. Massachusetts Comm’n Against Discrimination, 445 Mass. 96, 115 n.23 (2005) (assuming that graffiti constituted a form of harassment). In Rolando Cano v. Chertoff, 2006 WL 2332538 *10-*12 (E.E.O.C 2006) the hostile environment consisted of unwelcome comments, rumors and graffiti. The graffiti there was similar to that directed as Mr. Wood, including: “Cano swallows,” “Cano sucks dicks” and “Cano’s a queer.” Id. at *12. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission concluded that:
the sexually explicit comments and graffiti directed at complainant, after he expressed that he found them offensive, were sufficiently severe and pervasive to create an intimidating, hostile, and offensive work environment. The Commission notes that, evaluated from the viewpoint of a reasonable person in complainant’s circumstances, the sexually explicit comments and graffiti were extremely offensive and we not the record shows that complainant, a veteran supervisor with the agency, had his authority undermined by the offensive conduct.

Id. Mr. Wood submits that offensive verbal comments are equivalent to offensive written graffiti, and perhaps more so as they are anonymous and can be seen by many people.
The company’s failure to effectively stop the graffiti contributed to and exacerbated that hostile environment. This environment was severe and pervasive enough to alter the conditions of Mr. Wood’s employment. He suffered severe emotional distress as a result of the repeated instances of graffiti, as well as the company’s lackadaisical response to it. The totality of these circumstances are indeed enough to be offensive to a reasonable person, and were experienced as such by Mr. Wood. See Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 23 (1993) (“whether an environment is ‘hostile’ or ‘abusive’ can be determined only by looking at all the circumstances including the frequency of the discriminatory conduct”); Ruffino v. State Street Bank & Trust Co., 908 F.Supp. 1019, 1038 (D.Mass. 1995) (“hostile environment discrimination typically is not confined to one act, directed at one individual, one time; rather it is a composite of workplace action and inaction”); Belanger, supra at *4, citing Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc.
B. The Company’s Response Was Not Reasonable
Furthermore, the company’s response was not reasonable in these circumstances. The response was clearly not prompt, as US Airways acknowledges that surveillance cameras were not fully installed until September, six months after Mr. Wood’s initial complaint about inappropriate graffiti and vandalism of company property, and only after Mr. Wood had made repeated requests. Nor was appropriate training of all employees promptly undertaken or completed. As of the filing of the company’s Position Statement in February 2012 — nearly one year since Mr. Wood’s initial complaints — they concede that not all employees have completed anti-harassment training, but that it “will be completed shortly.” See Modern Continental, 445 Mass. at 111 n.17 (noting that a plaintiff’s claim survives summary judgment where there was a “protracted delay before taking any remedial action”).
Statements made by Mr. Wood’s superiors at US Airways also demonstrate the company’s unreasonable response to his repeated complaints. See Am. Compl., ¶¶ 5, 8, 10-11, 18-19. “An employer who passively tolerates the creation of a hostile working environment implicitly ratifies the perpetrator’s misconduct ….” Modern Continental, 445 Mass. at 105. The SJC continued:
Moreover, acquiescence on the part of the employer effectively communicates to the victim of harassment that her employer does not care about the hostile environment in which she must work, a message that can only operate to exacerbate the adverse effects of that hostile environment. In this context, an employer who is not part of the solution inevitably becomes part of the problem.

Ibid. See also Salvi, 67 Mass. App. Ct. at 606; Barbot v. Hapco Farms, Inc., 19 M.D.L.R. (1997) (MCAD ruled that where an employee who was called names, the employer’s response of telling the employee to “ignore the situation and get back to the job,” and promising she would be “on the lookout” and would be calling a meeting of employees in which she would condemn the name calling, was ruled an inadequate response by the employer). Commentary in this area of the law notes that “reported MCAD cases reveal a tendency of employers to underreact to claims of antigay harassment in the workplace.” Massachusetts Employment Law, MCLE, Vol. 1, Ch. 12, § 12.7.2 (2009).
With regard to the investigation of Mr. Wood’s complaints, the company’s initial response was inadequate and ineffective. Later, the company apparently began investigating whether perhaps Mr. Wood was himself responsible for the homophobic graffiti directed at him. Accusing the victim of being the perpetrator cannot possible qualify as having conducted a reasonable investigation — especially where Mr. Wood’s own handwriting expert has undermined and refuted the company’s handwriting expert’s report and conclusion. See Exhibit 1. The company’s resorting to an investigation of Mr. Wood, let alone relying on the inadequate and inconclusive report of their expert, buttresses the evidence that the company’s response was not only unreasonable but retaliatory.
C. Retaliation
With regard to Mr. Wood’s claim of unlawful retaliation against him by the company, this is demonstrated by, inter alia: the company’s delayed and ineffectual response to his initial complaints; various statements made to Mr. Wood by his supervisors; the company’s lack of legal support when Wood was falsely accused of harassment in December 2011 by fellow employee XXXXX, after Mr. Wood has filed his charge with the MCAD in October 2011; the company’s accusation that Mr. Wood himself was responsible for the offensive graffiti; and the company’s reliance on the handwriting expert’s flimsy findings as the basis for ultimately terminating his employment. The investigation of Mr. Wood, the victim of the hostile work environment, and later termination of Mr. Wood based on an inadequate and inconclusive handwriting report, constituted willful retaliation by US Airways.
Conclusion
Having offered the handwriting analysis of Dr. Fraser in rebuttal to the company’s own handwriting expert, which demonstrates the ample shortcomings with Ms. Koppenhaver’s methods and conclusion, Mr. Wood has established the necessary probable cause that he was both subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliated against.


I swear or affirm, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that I have read the above Rebuttal Statement and that it is true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.

HOMOPHOBIC REMARKS MADE BY A STORE EMPLOYEE FOR WAL-MART
*Email to the HR Department*

Hello,
My name is Michael Devor and this morning at 2:15am I was shopping in your store in Eaton OH and I had an issue come up that I feel needed brought to your attention. I was talking on the phone with the store manager on duty about my bad experience with a store associate. She was having an unprofessional attitude with me when explaining your check policies. Which isn't a huge issue every store has them but when the store manager at the end of our phone conversation called me a "faggot" then we have an issue. I dont know about what state your in but in Ohio that's a hate crime. I have shopped at this store since I can remember and to be disrespected like that has made me not only decide to shop at Kroger but I will also be forwarding this message to all major LGBT organizations as well informing my fellow LGBT members that your no better than Chick-fil-A and we should take our business elsewhere as well.

Hi im Rachid Boukhdal from morocco im 27 years
im gay but you know its not easy be gay in a muslim country
i find it very hard here to go out,to meet people,to live my life as i want it,i realy hate my life here, and the problems with my familly bcs the people talk about me and the big problem is the religoin you know that you cant be a gay in islam,i realy want to move from here so pls i need your help i have nobody here to talk with but you and i feel a bit ok bcs i sent you this leter

I would love you.

A bunch of guys fucked me in the bathroom. Told me being gay was a sin. Whatever though, I'm over it. I don't know how but whatever. Its my own little sad story. They pulled me in after school. I had to serve detention and they just got done with basketball practice. I just let them do what they wanted to me. No one in my town is gay. I'm the only one and it sucks. I'm the only onlin my school and no one really likes me. ll the girls just want to date and all the guys hate gays. One time I was walking own the road and they threw a rock at my head. I had to go to the hospital and stayed overnight. Another time I was in class and one boy walked up to me when the teacher walked out and asked me out. I ignored him because he has a girlfriend. He gripped my hair and asked me again. I said no and he pushed me out of my chair and walked away. Long story short, I have a not so good gay life. I, honestly, never said I was gay either. No one asked me. They just assumed. I am but still... It's like me assuming you're good with math because you're Jewish. I'm not mean. I'm nice to everyone. Even people who beat me up. I'm not a skinny guy. I'm not fat but, kinda muscled. So it's not like I look the part. I'm not trying to make someone feel bad but, if you wear makeup and wear girl clothes, that's the gay look people think of. Sometimes at least. My hair is shortish. Doesn't run off my head. It's really soft so I don't have weird hair either. I don't k ow, maybe my life is supposed to be like this. One time I had a boyfriend, he left me for my friend. I guess it was a joke. He laughed in my face a week later and left. She was ,my friend for 3 days. I thought maybe things were going to change butt it didn't. I didn't ask for this. When I was five, I dreamed of high school. How much fun it was going to be. How I would make all these memories to remember when I'm an adult. But I don't have any. I didnt have a good childhood. My parents fought a lot. They got a divorce when I was 8 and I never seen my dad again. My mom doesn't really care. The first time I got beat up, I came home crying because my nose broke. She said whatever. She brought me to the hospital half an hour later after me crying and annoying her. But whatever. All I want is a relationship. I know it's stupid to want that instead of a different life but, I could be someone's special boy. I want someone to hold me and tell me that they love me. I want him to kiss me and put his arm around my waist when we're walking around. I want to fall in love. I want to belong to someone. I want him to hold me while I sleep. Its stupid because I don't think I'll ever get to love someone. No one really likes or wants to be around me. Why would someone want to be with me? I'm pathetic. I don't even think I'll live to be old enough to go away from this town. I wanna go to California... It just seems fun there. But, I might not live to graduate high school. I'm ok with that. I'm ok with being hated and being beat up by others. I'm ok with never finding a perfect boy for me. I'm ok with never having a happy life. I'm just ok.

We dropped our daughter Angelica Wall at her grandparents Kristy and John Michael
Talley so she could go to a summer school program in Holden, Missouri.
We were supposed to pick her up after the last day of school on the 15th of June.
It was all confirmed again on Monday the 11th with Kristy Talley.
We got a call from Morgan's Ex husband on Thursday the 14th saying that John Michael
told him Kristy had taken Angel for a two week camping/horseback riding trip that
Morgan had supposidly Ok'd (which she hadn't) and left that morning for South
Missouri. We made several attempts to call and text both Kristy and John Michael with only
one answer from John telling Morgan he basically didn't agree with her being with me. Her
family has called me and texted me and slandered things about me on facebook threatening
to break my face or head in because I was transgender, they called me a freakazoid several
times and an 'it'. Its not the first time John and his brother Bob had threatened me calling me
a freak and several other nasty things.
A month before summer school John Michael had asked Morgan to sign a power of attorney
for medical reasons for Angel, she did not. He kept asking her for more and more information
and things didn't seem right. But Angel loves her grandparents so they asked if she could go to
Holden, Missouri for summer school and stay with them for two weeks. During this two weeks
they had already had the intention of filing for temporary custody with a lawyer without our
knowledge.
We recieved a phone call on the 25th saying that Morgan could come pick up some of her things
that they had but that she was not going to be happy because Morgan's mom Kristy had decided
she was keeping Angel forever. So we called the police immediately! The cops made a report of
kidnapping but since we brought her down for summer school they had to change it to child
abduction. Kristy had a warrant for her arrest.They made contact with John Michael and he
refused to tell them where Kristy is hiding Angel. Then we found out after we had gone through
hours of trying to find our daughter, Morgan's ex husband Charles Marcus Rone Jr. has had a
phone number that Kristy had called him from, which would have saved us hours, but then it gets
worse...not only did Charles aka Mark, not tell us about the secret cell number, but he had
deliberately lied to us and has talked to Angel, Kristy, and hung out with John Michael.
He in fact had been giving them information and a heads up when we were going to the police! And
when we would be down in Holden, Missouri.
Previously, Mark wanted to adopt Angel but she herself said, "No, I want my daddy Cole to be my real
dad not my step daddy." So if Kristy and John Michael have her he gets to see her and if we have her
he doesn't. He hates the fact that I am transgender and has called me a she almost every time.
I am FTM.
We need a lawyer to get our daughter back and we don't have the money. We live within our means
and that's all we have. We have a roof and clothes and food and an income to pay for those
important things but not enough for an expensive lawyer. They still haven't found Angel and Kristy
but John Michael can legally keep Angel and not let us see our daughter until the hearing.
I wanted to know if you could help us in any way, Angel is only 6 years old and we are expecting
a boy on November 9th and my son Christian is 9years old.
Still to this day, Kristy Talley and Angel are missing and Kristy and John Michael will not give up
the location where kristy is keeping Angel. As of yesterday, talking with the police there is still
a warrant for Kristy's arrest because she has not produced Angel or given up their wherabouts.
Neither has John Michael. The police have in fact tried to ping their cell phones but she turned
if off.
If you can help us to raise the money to get a lawyer because they have petitioned the courts for guardianship of our daughter because we are not a "normal" family and they think they can give her a better life. They have paid their lawyer over five grand as a retainer, and we have only found one lawyer who is willing to work with us and drop her retainer to a grand because she, not the cops think what they are doing is legal. we have found that on the 13th they petitioned for guardianship, and took off with her to San Diego California. No one has still to this day seen Angel. The reason we were not served any paperwork is because they lied and said they "did not know a current address, phone number or even what state Morgan lives in now and Angel had been living with them for the past six months without any contact to us" All of this is lies and we have the phone records and more to prove it we just need a lawyer to do so. PLEASE HELP US BRING OUR ANGEL HOME WHERE SHE WANTS TO BE WITH HER MOMMY AND DADDY! I am begging you to help me put my family back together. I have already had my nine year old son be placed with my brother "because of me being transgender ed" I don't want to lose my daughter to. I cry every night when I pass her room and the bunk beds i made her. I get little things and put them on her bed hoping for her return, just as i get things and put them in a box to send to my son, which is as close to him as i can get. These things should not be allowed, this discrimination needs to stop. Please Help Me Not Lose Another Child To Someone With Because I Can Not Afford A Lawyer Who Believes In Me because a court appointed one won't, they didn't before. Trust me I KNOW! ~thank you Colton~

Well! Hello! I experienced my first gay sexual act about 7 months ago now i guess? I met this guy in a college class i was in and we became friends. Well, one day out of no where when we were cleaning his pool if i had ever questioned my sexuality. At first i was like thrown off completely by the question! like i just froze and was confused on why i was even getting asked this. because i had no gay tendencies at all. I never acted feminin or anything. He just randomly asked me! So i responded with saying no im not gay but said if he was i dont care at all. And he said he was not gay but was just wondering about it. about 20 minutes later after we were finished cleaning his pool he asked me if i masturbated on a regular basis and if so he wanted to know if he could watch me masturbate. I didnt really want to at the time because i was completely blown away by that whole conversation. well a few days later i went back to his house and he and i were just sitting there on his back yard porch and i brought up the conversation we had the previous week. and i asked him if he wanted to go in the pool and masturbate. He said sure. So we began to watch each other masturbate and then for some STRANGE reason i walked up to him with out hesitation or anything and started kissing him and i i started to reach for his penis and he asked me if i was sure. and i said yes i want to see if i like this. So i started to stroke his penis and i was massaging my penis as well. I think i ended up cumming first and then i started stroking his penis harder to make him cum and honestly that was the best first experience i have ever had for sex. I really enjoyed that! I guess we got very comfortable with each other because now we watch each other or help each other almost every week! I guess the problem with this is i am trying to figure out my sexuallity because every since he and i started messing around i have not even tried to get a girl! Like the thought has never even crossed my mind! So i guess i am trying to figure out what is goin on in my head lol! I am def attracted to women! but i really enjoy giving him pleasure! I find myself doing girly things when i am with him too lol... Like the jeans i wear are tighter and i wear underwear that is very form fitting lol.. I dono! thats my story..

ILGA is fascist.

I'm 37 years old gay from Algeria and there are no LGTB rights and freedom in this country ,local traditions are obliging me to live a life which is not mine ,mom is always obliging me to marry a woman ,this will never happen because i was born naturally gay and i have no pleasure with girls,,my story is so sad and i want to have a situation and a natural life i cannot change myself ,,if any help ,any solution please advise me !!

Duality can explain Homosexuality
Whether you are right handed or left handed, most people will agree that everyone has a preference, of which they choose to use when writing a letter. This is similar to how I understand one being homosexual or heterosexual, there appears to be a dominant natural preference involved. Although the majority of people are right hand dominated, it is universally acceptable to be left handed; whereas the majorities, who are heterosexual, don’t as easily accept someone who is homosexual. This raging controversy has propelled many scientific studies in genetics to search for a relevant answer, and has fueled many religious factions to take up some firm moral stands, with an appalling effect. Overall popular acceptance has changed dramatically in recent history but the fact remains, neither Science nor Religion can give us a definite explanation for the reality of homosexuality.
The theory I am about to present, can help make it understandable to the probable cause of how homosexual preference in an individual can be connected to their natural state of being. I will not entertain such definitions as the term “Turning Gay”, for I believe it is an inborn attraction to the same sex, and not one that was developed by some physical or mental malfunction. There are Spiritual laws that govern our world through cause and effect, and what I am about to explain has little to do with scientific study or religious values. This goes much deeper and to the heart of our physical world, and does require some spiritual insight. First of all, I am a heterosexual Male who is attracted only to the opposite sex (females). This should alleviate anyone’s concern that my understanding may show favoritism or have any justifiable purpose for my conclusion. My understanding comes from the basic principles that we are all one in God’s eye.
We must incorporate some belief, that there is a reason for everything we see in nature to truly make sense of things. To really grasp what I am saying, there must be some concept of a higher self or true being. To really understand the spiritual concept of cause and effect or law of attraction, there is one piece to the puzzle that can explain where we have come from, pertaining to who we are (the cause), and why we are here (the effect) that is vital. This is the spiritual understanding of the “Duality in nature”. Many may not be able to understand anything beyond their physical appearance, but the self-seeker and spiritually minded individual should not find it hard to comprehend. As we explore who we really are as individuals, we gain the wisdom of acceptance for others.
This duality in nature can be defined as what perpetuates our physiological reality. This duality is the process by which nature evolves and creation exists in our world. It is with purpose, and its function is the division and multiplying from the one omnipotent source, or God. Duality is a continual process for equalizing or balancing nature’s own well-being. Everything that we know of in this three dimensional world has been divided from one source, the cause of everything. There is an opposite of everything in our physical world. It is the opposites that link dualities necessity of balance; as we view the relationship between man-woman, light-dark, hot-cold, and positive-negative. It is the opposites that create the cycle of continual reunification from which it came from. What can better interoperate dualities magical sequent of events, than the rain that fills the lakes that becomes a body of water, which then is evaporated by the Sun to replenish the clouds, so it may return once again? Without duality nothing would exist of this reality we live in. Because of this perpetual cycle, nothing comes to complete rest, so it remains in infinite motion, continually dividing, constantly expanding and creating. Everything is elegantly made in retrospect for the sequence of continual rebirth, as you see in the nature of our four seasons, and in the way the Earth rotates from day to night.
To understand nature’s connection to us it helps to understand the division, and why there is such division. For example; electricity would not exist if there were no positive and negative fields. One cannot be the other, and yet they are both important to create the power needed. Man is physically opposite from a woman, but the two combined represent the human character. I believe man and woman is the division from the one total being. This is often described as the Yin and Yang, masculine/ feminine. Understanding this will also explain why some people are born to be homosexual. There is nothing wrong per say with these individuals; it is just a different division of the dual nature from which we all came from. The hard part for anyone to grasp with a three dimensional viewpoint, is that the opposites are really a division from the one source. Nature is a continual cycle in motion that is constantly seeking to return to the source from which it came. This is the same for the desire for man to find God; he is seeking the divinity he knows is in his heart. Duality in nature is how our physical reality is portrayed to us. Water cannot be vapor, and vapor cannot be water, but the duality in nature is the cause of division from any one element, and it insures a continual cycle for enhancement of life.
To explain this even further in relevance to ourselves, we must first consider ourselves to be something much more than just another product of nature, but entities that can develop a greater potential that can expand our universe. We must believe that in the raw form of our higher consciousness, duality will no longer exist, and there will be no separation. We will inhabit total awareness, and our instinctual physical senses will no longer be needed. The animal desire to administer sexual pleasure will be extinguished along with the purpose for our physicality. We will then recognize our masculine and feminine qualities as one entity. We will realize our physical bodies were only a manifestation produced from the duality that exists on the physical plane, and then know that it was the duality in nature that created our physicality, and the gender we were to be. If we have come here in a predetermined form, could it just be possible that homosexuals are another form of division to help us to better understand our commonality from which our true being resides? This being said; the procreation aspects in Duality is ignored in the sense to portray a spiritual understanding of a divine interpretation.
To reference what has been spoken of in spiritual terms as the Light. The Light can be considered the source, or God. Everything has been manifested from the one light of God. To be enlightened is the knowing of this Light. This light is the Bliss; it is where we find Rest. God has manifested his expression by dividing this light. In essence, everything is connected to the one light from which it has been divided from. Everyone and everything is seeking to return to the source from which it was created. It is by witnessing the synchronicity found in nature one can understand this evolution taking place. It will help in bringing the understanding that we are all One.
As we grasp and understand the importance of duality in our world, we begin to realize the divine intervention in place. It points to the precision of all we witness in nature, and gives so much more purpose to the world. It shouts the meaningful cause that has produced such wondrous effects. It proves that God provided everything that was needed to sustain life. Developing this insight of duality in nature, may bring strength to our spiritual perception and reason for our faith. It can bridge our divided misconceptions and align our common direction. There is a definite connection with everything and everyone, and is evident within the duality of nature. Duality has provided the continuation of the well-being for all in nature, and proves there is a law that cannot be denied. Everything is reborn, everything is replenished, and everything is bound by this law, which is evident in the duality of nature.
The evidence is in the soul and heart of man. No one can gift us any understanding of what we come to know and believe within ourselves. There should be no outside influence or persuasion that detours the performance of our individual thought. When we understand that it is our individual right to adhere to such principles, then we will gain the knowledge and wisdom that we truly deserve. Individuality has much more importance than a mere independent choice or preference; it is the expression that enables humanities growth and expansion. There are limitless boundaries society will be able to overcome, by a collective agreement sprouted from one individual idea.
I believe this theory can enable humanities answers to some of the most complex questions that have ever been conceived. It may even eliminate our physical limitations and open the door for a unified consciousness that can accept our higher awareness of certainty. Much of this article has been taken from a chapter in my ebook, “Thinking is Spiritual (We are All Spiritual)”. I want everyone to understand their own self-worth. I hope to help spread the word of this wondrous time of Awakening we are experiencing today. We are at the dawn of a new age, and a unified higher state of consciousness. We are all connected, and it is all Good!
