A Note to All of Us from a 16-Year-Old Girl

A Note to My Kid gives the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) community, their parents, family and friends the opportunity to share their unconditional love with one another. The site also provides a resource for people who may not know how to broach the subject of sexuality with the opportunity to learn from example, while serving as a steadfast reminder that there's a lot of love and support that exists for the LGBTQ community; that we are not alone. It’s our ultimate goal that A Note to My Kid will help create such impenetrable bonds between members of our community and their loved ones that if a gay teenager is bullied at school, a lesbian is discriminated against at work or a transgender person is chastised while simply walking down the street that the negative impact will be far less because they will know that they are loved unconditionally by the most important people in their lives.

A Note to My Kid gives the LGBTQ community, their parents, families and friends the opportunity to share their unconditional love with one another.

The site also gives anyone the opportunity to share uplifting, personal stories relating to the LGBTQ community.

Write a note. Share a video. Submit a picture. The impact could be greater than you've ever imagined!

A Note to All of Us from a 16-Year-Old Girl

I remember being curious, and I know I am still, but that's besides the point because something I realized while going through the motions of my life was how amazing and quite disappointing people can be.

As I'm sure many of you know and have lived through, people have lost interest in the commonality of man, the way that we as beings share one goal and that is to be loved and to love.

Furthermore the integrity of love has been unintentionally forgotten. Why? Well what do I know? I'm just sixteen. But I won't give up and have yet to let those words slip past my lips about loving anyone, even those who have broken my heart.

So hear this you wonderful you, as far as my heart is concerned I am content, more so over joyed in sharing this world with you, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (you interest me the most in my naive nature), and straight. Frankly, I have aspired to emulate the strength that you radiate and the roles in society that you play.

While those closed, narrow minded, confused, flustered, anal (pardon the vulgarity) people out there put their nose in everything and ruin the freedom of those around them and tighten their rusty iron wrought bars of their forever caged hearts, I say, I believe, I tell you that where there is hope, there is a young girl ever fascinated by people, hated or put on a pedestal for their notoriety, who is waiting to see what you do.

I'm waiting to see what your hearts are like full force.
I'm waiting to see your world annexed into the world and no longer hated.
I'm waiting for the boneheads to grow up and embrace love.

But what I am doing is standing up for you, making sure I never use the word Faggot, or Gay or even the term "No homo" in the vain, heartlessly arrogant way of the people who surround me because it's unfair, unjust and damn it, you are people and I don't care what others think about your sexual orientation. Love who you love.

Dear you with the mask on, your parade would be so much more beautiful if we got to see the real you.

Sincerely,
A girl with a glimmer in her eyes for you.
