Her name was Leelah, she was born in the wrong body.  She was a beautiful girl that her parents couldn't accept.  She committed suicide because her parents hated her for who she truly was, she hoped her death would mean something.  I hope her beautiful soul is resting in heaven, and she has long flowing hair and a beautiful dress.  Leelah didn't want to become a statistic.  I hope one day we will live in a world where we don't hate people because of their religion, race or sexuality.  I don't care if you're Christian, Atheist, Muslim or anything else. PLEASE DON'T BE YOUR CHILDS FIRST BULLY, accept them and love them.  Because you love who you love, no one can help it, so please for future generations let's project love for everyone, it doesn't matter if you're Gay, Straight, Bi, or Trans.  We are all the same on the inside, no one is better than anyone.  We are all equal!  Rest in Power Leelah Alcorn.

The senseless death of the beautiful young girl Leelah Alcorn, inspired me to write this piece.  I hope this piece will inspire people to open their hearts to accept and love ALL people.

Very powerful, we should all love one another, and accept people for who they are, especially parents they should always be open arms and acceptance for their children.
