I'm not sure what I am anymore, I've gone through so many different identities I'm not even sure people will believe me if I give them a new one. But the path to finding yourself has so many twists and turns and has never been a straight line. Sometimes we stop and look at the possibilities and rather than pursuing our way down the path we push ourselves into something easier. Sometimes it's not all that easy but it's better than waiting for an answer, waiting to be told that were something more or something different. http://www.alterheros.com/english/temoignages/tem_details.cfm?TemID=165 http://www.alterheros.com/english/temoignages/tem_details.cfm?TemID=165 Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:38:09 EST info@alterheros.com (par Mandy) My story How to tell parents... when you know you just might be with someone for life... and they just might be visiting you this summer (and you really, really hate lying to them now...) http://www.alterheros.com/english/dossier/Articles.cfm?InfoID=472 http://www.alterheros.com/english/dossier/Articles.cfm?InfoID=472 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:04:02 EST info@alterheros.com (par ) Dossier South African lesbians are suffering rapes by men trying to "cure" their homosexuality, in what is becoming one of the most common hate crimes against gay women here, a new study said Friday.The study by the anti-poverty group ActionAid said that women living in townships in Johannesburg and Cape Town are reporting increasing attacks and murders by men committing so-called "correc... http://www.alterheros.com/english/Edito/?recordID=120 http://www.alterheros.com/english/Edito/?recordID=120 Sat, 04 Apr 2009 11:04:32 EST info@alterheros.com (par Sarah Needles) Latest news A new program providing legal information about HIV and AIDS is now available to the general public of Quebec.
