Who am I? I don't know if I know.
Alone but not aloneScared but not scared
Angry
Beautiful but ugly
Desired but looked over
Confused
Intelligent yet ignorant
Lusting but distant
Alone
I'm not female, I'm male and I'm a homosexual who happens to have depression. Please don't ask "What are you depressed about?" because it's irritating. I am Nubian and I am proud to be Nubian. I can't say that I am proud to be gay because I just don't understand it and I can't be proud of something that I don't understand.
I don't have a boy friend; the closest thing that I've had to a boyfriend was a completely phone based relationship that lasted for about 8 months.
Did I mention that I'm not openly gay? I'm scared of being openly gay but I have respect for those that are. Those people are my heroes...

Deep stuff.
Dear Mr.Diaz,
My name is Steven Susaña, and I am 15 years old. I grew up in the Bronx. I do not support your ideas on gay marriage and so does many other people in the Bronx. I think your ideas are very ignorant and uneducated. Most of the AIDS disease is carried by heterosexuals and it is not caused because someone is homosexual, it is caused by unprotected sex and using drugs which anyone can do, including you. As you said, "There will be more homosexuals". There will be more OPEN homosexuals. The Bronx is very uneducated and immature about sexual orientation. People cannot "convert" to another sexuality. If you are heterosexual, you will always be heterosexual. If you are homosexual, you will always be homosexual. Same-sex marriage will not affect you, or any other heterosexual person. The only way it'll affect them is if they know someone who is homosexual that they care about. For a senator, I would expect that you did learn that church and government NEVER mix well. They are like oil and water. When they are mix, corruption and cruelty comes from it. "I believe that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) families deserve the 1,324 rights and responsibilities that come with marriage in New York State. Loving same-sex couples and their children should not be treated like second-class citizens by being denied access to the protections of marriage. " I just hope you educate yourself before you go against a moral and civic issue. Homophobia is like Racism. I think as a Latino you would never want to discriminate against someone for who they are. Racism was the irrational hate against an ethnic group. Homophobia is the irrational hate for homosexuals.
I wanted to send you this email, to tell you, that I may be young but I know when people should deserve basic rights.
From,
Steven Susaña
