I was searching all over the web for some quotes/articles that would help me express myself with my thoughts(emotions as well^~^) hoping it would make me feel better. I have found some nice statements which I edited and added my own words on it. More to come for sure.
-The joy of expressing what's in your heart-
Enjoy!

The process of trying to fight and stop discrimination against homosexuality should start with making every homosexual understand that each of us have got the choice to be either the Victims or the Victors.
To be The crying losers or to be the proud winners.
To be respected as a human being or not.
We have the choice!
But of course, to be successful in this challenge would never happen over night, may not be anytime sooner. It will take some time.
But each and every homosexual should REALLY WANT that personal victory so we can find the will to fight for personal success.
If we want something to change, it should begin with "WANTING IT"!
For someone like me who wants discrimination to stop, in ways I could think of, must have that core belief, the FAITH, that God created me beautiful, and He definitely made no mistake when he created me.
YES, I am born this way and that's a thing I should be proud of.
I have the power to overcome wrongs, injustices, and most of all... Inequalities.
I will proudly show to the world that I do not want to remain discriminated. That nothing created by God deserves to be denied of equality and respect.
I firmly believe that to be a homosexual was never a choice of destiny.
People should understand by now that there have been never any choices. For if there was, if by any chance, do you think one would choose to be live such a very discriminated and tough life?!?
The choice of destiny has been never between becoming a homosexual or becoming a straight man.
I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.
• It was more of a choice on how I should live my Life: to live it in a way that conforms with the NORMS that the society is dictating me, by basing on what's between my legs....
... Or just simply be TRUE to myself and appreciate my own worth.
Some people would insist that the right thing for a homosexual like me to do is just to live my life as a regular Straight Man, find a girl to love, build a family and have a better life. Not realizing that what they really want for me to do is DENY my True self and let me fake everything else.
If any of you would feel madness or hatred just with my presence, then clearly the problem is yours.
Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold.
If I feel the need to change something in myself, I alone will make that decision.
I surely have no regrets when I chose to love myself and chose to just appreciate my worth. Sure it was a very tough journey, the toughest ones are yet to experience in the future, but happy having the peace of mind and the conscience knowing that I am not hurting anybody.
But with so much faith and trust in God's plans, I have learned to love myself so much more and to proudly embrace the real me.
There would come a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me.!
This is my own life.
This is the real me.
I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love!
I am a whole complex package.
A human being just like anybody else.
Take it or better leave me alone.
Accept me - or you can just walk away!
And luckily for me, that time...
...that precious moment
...is happening right NOW!
This moment...
...this very moment,
That I just appreciate life.
And I am very happy that I get to share it with all of you.
Be Real. Be Proud.
"There are people who have said that I am being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption, basically of gay rights, but with all due respect I humbly descend. I'm not being brave, I'm being a decent human being"
