I have been getting a lot of e-mails & requests for wristbands - www.ac4p.org I was really touched by your video. Caring needs to be considered cool. The world, our future, is at stake. To all those watching Do something nice for somebody else today. Not for any particular reason. Just because it is the right thing to do. Let's not make caring and kindness random; rather, let's make it intentional

Joel Burns Video: www.youtube.com Jasons Video : www.youtube.com (Far Away), By Mark (written 17yrs ago over bullying for being gay) Through the poorly decayed misfortune and despair, and through the locked keyhole on the dismembered cell, awake of all the loneliness, and aware of morning dawned, the chances small are taken, and i run far far away. The tall trees on my right and left pass me hurriedly, leaves upon the wooden floors crumble as i stride, the people in the sunny village do not see me fly by, for i wont be back no more. My mind begins to live again as i steal my hidden words, as i run far far away, from the deadly lonely cries, but i am an immortal, flying by the darkness!, with the light of a moon, as my dear beloved friend. I will never return again, retracing all my steps, until the pain stops, i shall remain the begging slave, searching on for my lost brothers and sisters, i will continue to run far far away, and i will not look back. (Alone) By Mark. (Written 17yrs ago) With no-one elce on his side, what is he to do? silent whispers embedded in his feelings, unravelled experiences carry his soul away, angry with the errors and hopes, decended from who?!? The acting of others, stupidity holds, a constant competition of popularity, the compeditors die away as years fly, leaving them speechless as life unfolds. Their uncalled for ideas make them listen, for shame cannot stand and guide, their hidden feelings never stand guard, as the unborn person insides <b>...</b>

Joel Burns est un élu municipal de Fort Worth, au Texas. Lors d'un conseil, le 12 octobre 2010, il a choisi de parler de la montée de la violence envers la population homosexuelle en prenant l'exemple de plusieurs adolescents homosexuels qui se sont suicidés récemment. Il explique ensuite comment il a vécu son homosexualité en tant qu'adolescent. J'ai traduit son discours moi-même, c'est pourquoi la traduction peut parfois sembler confuse et ne pas être parfaitement exacte. Il me semblait très important que cette vidéo soit accessible aux français, quand on voit que la France est un des 4 seuls pays européens à ne pas reconnaître d'union homosexuelle de valeur égale au mariage. L'homosexualité est encore passible de peine de mort dans quelques pays africains (Mauritanie, Somalie, Yémen) et asiatiques. Elle est aussi passible de prison notamment dans les pays du Maghreb et d'Asie du sud-est (source : le Monde Hors série "L'atlas des Mondialisations" 2010-2011.) Mais l'homophobie apparaît aussi sous d'autres formes de violence, plus perverses, lâches, et qui conduisent les plus sensibles au suicide. Harcèlement moral, agressions, menaces... Je me demande souvent dans quel monde arriéré nous vivons?

www.youtube.com The above link is to the video of Joel Burns telling gay teens that "It gets better." I saw clips from the video on 10-15-10, and it nearly brought me to tears. Even though I'm not gay, it speaks to me. I wish I could have heard it years back when I was going through a hard time. This man is great, and this video is a blessing. (and wow I look so disproportioned! well, that's what pregnancy does to you)
