Hello there! My name is Nichole A. Lopez, but everyone calls me Nikkie. (;D!) Birthdate 11-12-71 I'm STILL a thick and sassy38yr old mother of 8! Yes, I said EIGHT babies! I'm working on number 9 now. Little Devon will be making her debut around 17th-19th. Yeah, me and my wonder hubby did it AGAIN!! The wife of a great, awesome, super police officer! I live in Beantown (that's Boston, MA for those not familiar with the term). I am a grill chef @ a university here. I love hanging around my kids, fighting with my sisters and brothers, curling up on the couch with my mama watching tv, playing card with my daddy, and watch the sunrise and set with my latin lover/hubby of 13 years!!

I'm an admitted peanut and almond M&M and anime junkie! My favorites being:

InuYasha

Gravitation

Trinity of Blood

Hellsing

Crying Freeman

Robotech

Blood +

and

Kyo Kara Moah

These are only a few titles. I got into anime with my kids and have been hooked ever since!

I'm also an avid Ice Cube fan. I have all his CDs and movies. I even have a autographed picture of me and Cube! It's amazing the kind of perks you get, being a cops wife!

If you like to write, copy/paste this into your profile.

Okay, serious stuff below. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a rabid yaoi fan girl, homophobia is wrong. (And I have to live with someone who is homophobic. He believes that homosexuals are 'wrong' and should be executed.)

PLEASE READ WHAT'S UNDER THIS!!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.
