149. Disfigured people

do have the right to get married in all 50 states. But do they have the right to have children -- hell no. Legally, yes but people strongly discourage or actively urge an abortion should an 'ugly' female get pregnant. We have also been denied jobs and fired for being different.

Disfigured people are asked to leave restaurants, swimming pools, malls even amusement parks. While not being told that we are going to hell, we have been informed that we are guilty of some sin in a past life. On the bright side, it isn't the Catholic faith that tells us that.

I doubt you will even clink on the link and I sincerely doubt you have spent anytime with someone who is disfigured. But hey, do you see how many award shows sport red ribbons for AIDS awareness, or the rainbow ribbons/flags one can see on bumper stickers to help show support for your community? Except for being the butt of jokes or more often the evil villain have you seen an extremely positive disfigured character in a movie or weekly television show? Only Beast from the original Beauty and the Beast showed a 'beast' in a positive light. Thank the writers had the common sense to not turn Vincent in to a handsome male.

Vashta,
If I had power and could make a big change in the world I would give you and your group every right you are asking for because it just that - your rights. I would place your group ahead of mine simply because your numbers are larger. Our groups are in the same boat in my eyes. Maybe one day even Ellen or Neil Patrick Harris will even kiss a disfigured LGBT person --- 'cause they do exist.

One question why don't you like disfigured people?
