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 in your journal if you believe homophobia is wrong.

Hey all!  The instructions for using this mood theme are the same ones found here: http://community.livejournal.com/_creations_/32859.html

 

So, let’s get started.

 

1)      Download the file here, unzip, and upload all images to your own provider.  Do NOT change the names!  Suggestion, don’t use “tinypic.”  Photobucket has this great bulk uploader, that’s what I use. 

2)      Go to your Admin Console and in the text box, paste this exactly:

moodtheme_create "Dr. Horrible- Billy/Horrible" "msmanuscript"

hit “execute.”

 

3)      Grab the number code.  Open the admin console text document.  Should be easy, it’s the only one there.  Hit edit>replace.  Change the 12345 to whatever the code that they gave you is, and hit replace all. 

a.       Since you have it open, replace “http://www.hosting.com” with whatever provider you have the images on.  Do NOT replace the “/chipper.png 90 52” parts.

b.      Also, do NOT put in the “/chipper.png” piece.

4)      Copy the whole text document, and paste it into the admin counsel box, hit “execute.”

 

Now you’re all set!  Just go in and set the mood theme!  Any questions feel free to message or comment me and ask.  Please put “mood theme: M.S. Manuscript” or a link to my journal in your side-bar or somewhere so that others can find it.  Let me know if you’re going to use it, because I just love seeing how these look on other backgrounds!

Tell me that's not one of the cutest things you've ever seen.

Six Degrees of Whedon

Know it, love it, join it.  Let's get this ball rolling!

Suggestions of skins, banners, icons, posts, whatever, feel free to drop them in.   This community is open to all, and loves suggestions from all!

Alright!  Here's an idea.  Since this giant crossover is taking a lot of braincells, here's something we can do.

Set up a timeline/plot to where everything is connected, then people write for this universe as the idea takes them. 

First we have to set up the plot time thing.  Anyone with ideas as to how to connect the worlds into one big world, the general time-abouts that each event happens (such as Billy gets into the E.L.E., THEN goes to the dollhouse, THEN is wiped, THEN is made into Barney) and post it here or in your journal with a link here so that others can see what you had in mind.

So this way, everyone has ideas down, and the group can pick and choose and make things up.  We can compile everyone's ideas into one massive universe, and anyone that has a fic for it can post it up!

I'm thinking of making a group for this, but I'm not sure what to call it.  I was thinking Joss-over, but Joss isn't in every universe we're crossing. 

Universes so far trying to tie:
Angel/Buffy
How I Met Your Mother
Doctor Horrible
Firefly
Dollhouse
Castle

Once the personal ideas stop coming in, we can start combining/mixing and matching to come up with a tree trunk universe.  Then the fictions and personal plots (the ideas you had that were tweeked/removed) can be the branches that people come up with as part of the big group crossover!

Story time!  Under cut.

( Listen children and you will hear... )

Happy Halloween all!

An idea created by idioticonion was a Dollhouse fiction. A crossover of Dollhouse and HIMYM.

This got myself, I/O, lilithisbitter, and others thinking of a big crossover. I have yet to see Dollhouse, so I began scoring the internet for it. I noticed that the set was like that of the Wolfram and Heart from Angel. Anyone think that could be part of it?

Is anyone interested in doing a collaboration crossover fic? I don't know how a collab works, so someone'll have to explain that bit to me. But I'm so open for ideas!

So far:
Doctor Horrible/Dollhouse/How I Met Your Mother.

Any other universe to put into it? Anyone want to throw out ideas or become part of the team?
