No More Homophobia!

20 July 2011:

I’d like to introduce you to a very dear friend of mine. His name is Dylan Drobish. I knew him before and after his transition. I’m going to put up a few of his videos during his transition, which you can find at his YouTube page.

So we’ll work our way backwards. This is Dylan a year on T.

This is Dylan after being on T for three months (gets a bit graphic… self-injection).

This is Dylan’s first suit purchase (exciting!!!)

Dylan’s first conversation with his mother.

These are Dylan’s first thoughts on the FTM process (he’s just getting over a cold… :( )

Also, if you get a chance, take a look at his blog and get a taste of what he goes through. Not only is he one of the strongest people I’ve ever met, he’s also one of the most articulate. If I wasn’t completely confident in my ability to write, I might be jealous :P

My love for Dylan is boundless (if you’ve ever met me, you know that I’ve got a great deal of love to give and mean it every time I say it). Please get some strength from his videos and his blog and realise that no matter who you are or what you’re going through, you’re not alone.

These are a few segments from the documentary black./womyn entitled “conversations”. Hopefully these conversations can open up your eyes to the pain many suffer just to love another human being.

    DanFrom the description.UPDATE, PLEASE READTo all my fdenirs and supporters,I made this video 4 months ago just before school was about to start. I was 13. It was a very emotionally dark time in my life. I made the video at 4:00am in the morning; I hadn’t been sleeping at night for a long time, too many things going on in my head. I was dreading going back to school and I had not come out to my family yet. Only my closest fdenirs knew. I didn’t know how to say what I needed to say. All I could think about were all the bad things that had been happening at school last year, every year for that matter. I just couldn’t bare to go through that anymore. I was done being fake happy, pretending hateful words didn’t hurt, done hiding it from my family.So this video was made for my fdenirs that had moved on to High School who were worried for me, to say to them that I was going to take a stand, and to the haters at my middle school that I’m not going anywhere. I am who I am. I posted the video here and told people were to find it. That was it.My fdenirs were moved by the video and thought I did something important. I was encouraged to upload it to my Facebook page so more people could see it. Maybe it could help someone else going through the same thing. So I linked it Dec. 1st. My Parents saw it for the first time Dec, 2nd.Then .. all this happened.I never expected in a million years that it would have such a wonderful impact on so many people. I am truly humbled and truly thankful for all the love, encouragement and support from people all over the world. It’s been incredibly overwhelming. I don’t know what to say. Thank you so, so much!Lastly, yes you have seen me happy in a couple short videos replies I posted; I would think that would be a good thing , and yes I do have fdenirs, my High School fdenirs, and I have made fdenirs because when I came out they realized that they had hurt me and that they fealt sorry. The video is real, and true.In the last few months everything eventually came out in the open, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders; I’m happy, I’m excepted for who I am, I’m more confident and feel stronger every day.Thank you all, Love and peace to all who are hurting.Jonah Mowry I hope this is a Beacon of hope for LGBT youth.

      Thank you for sharing your story. I hope that there are others who can take heart of what you’ve said and realize that while the world is a dark place full of people who fear what they don’t understand, there are still beautiful people in this world who love unconditionally.
