Kinetic Kyle Profile

Biography

I'll remember Larry, and everything he believed.

My name is Kyle and I think I am pretty cool, especially on UrbanDictionary.

Actually not really, I am just a normal kid trying to survive. I am 18, and I will be going to college in the fall. I know what I am doing with my life and where I am going. I care a lot about social justice related issues and I believe in a safe school for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression. I believe that the change we seek from the world is possible, especially within ourselves, and that we can do anything we pour our hearts and souls into... whether that is building bombs of evil, or building bridges of enlightenment. I avoid using any words that demean a group of people. "That's gay," "that's retarded," "nigg," or "cunt" are words that are not welcome in my life. I will correct you if you say it not because I want to be mean or because I don't like you, but because I think we are better then that. We have the power to be a great society. I am very political and an Obama fan. I label myself not as a democrat or as a republican but as a progressive. A change seeker.

I personally do not use illegal drugs, or smoke cigarettes (most cigarette companies are anti-gay), and I will not drink substances. My life is already pretty crazy without these negative influences. I hope my friends that use make good decisions when they do so. I will not disband them unless they are going crazy. On a more positive note, I work and go to school in Seattle, and I would not change my home for anything. This place is my playground and my sandbox. Seattle has truly made me into who I am today. Sometimes people think I own this town haha. I, however, will always share it. =] I do not think I am a mean egotistical scene kid. I am sorry if I do not reply to you though. Please understand. =[

I am very active in the queer community and I do not care what you think about it or me. I am not better then anyone and I know the work that I do is the right thing that needs to be done. If you want some advice it is to know yourself, validate your feelings, believe that you can succeed, and always strive to be respected for who you are while never forgetting to respect other people.

I am a goal setter. I have set new goals for myself: let go of past drama, try to get along with members of my family(s), succeed in college, get to know new people in my age bracket, learn to love again, and never loose sight of my long-term goals. I secretly want to work for an LGBT or inclusive non-profit. =]

I believe that life is a generational struggle and we will make the world either better or worse for the next generation to come after us. I plan on making it better. I can do my part, but we, together, can make it better.

Oh and by the way, I have a huge crush on Caelin David Wooten

He is pretty much all I think about now. I stay up late at night just to catch him when he is awake. He thinks that I am going to be a great person. He believes in me and I also believe in him. I know we will grow with each other. I will always remember gazing at the incredible stars with him on top of me at midnight, I became distracted as my arms enclose around his body. I don't mind spending money to see him, because having him in my arms is priceless. I feel right when I am laying next to Caelin. This boy is someone I defiantly would love to wake up next to everyday. Caelin babbbbbyyy [:

When I think about my experience as someone who is gay in American society I know that admitting it was the hardest part; after admitting being different one can go two routes, one of apathy or one of activism. Working with students in schools to feel safer and to feel more accepted is a passion that I found early. Then I was accepted into a leadership role to acutely focus a newfound passion dramatically which changed my life. Through Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) activism, I have developed the leadership skills to take responsibility for my community and take decisive action to improve our entire society for future generations.

Generations have told me that I would grow up and live the perfect American Dream. However, as I grew up, I realized that I liked the same sex. After coming out, I was spit on in hallways and harassed consistently for being different. The deafening silence that I experienced when I walked into the classroom with my peers just finishing talking about me was unbelievable.

Out of loneliness, I started exploring Seattle and the internet for others like me. I needed to belong somewhere and I had a calling to find my roots. I researched for hours at the library, printed news articles and books to read, reaching my limit on my library card. I decided I had to learn about my people that have been consistently hidden from mainstream society. My experience learning about LGBT rights and scapegoating incited me to take action in improving LGBT rights and helping the quality of society.

The first time I walked into the room with my friend holding my hand I never thought I would become such an activist. Four students sat in a circle staring at the fresh face that walked in. I had come to my first Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) meeting and, of course, I was absolutely terrified. However, I knew what I was doing was right for myself even if I would be humiliated by my peers. I breathed in deeply and I felt alive for the first time in my life. After becoming president I knew I had found my calling and my passion, making schools safer for all students, not just the majority.

The next school year was full of turmoil but also achievement because the school district banned all “Gay/Lesbian interest” websites and I worked diligently with the local media to force the discrimination to end. I also planned the first ever LGBT high school dance in the state; amazingly, we had over 200 youth attend, breaking all expectations. My main accomplishment has been helping individuals who are not sure about diversity to understand differences. I knew I had found my calling and felt successful when the amount of registered members in GSA skyrocketed from 4 to 50.

After becoming a leader in my school I was contacted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) to become a national leader to create change. I was honored to be 1 out of 50 members across the nation to attend conventions full of workshops and education. GLSEN refined my skills as a leader and helped me open my eyes to connections of oppression still present in our modern world.

I feel passionately about helping people in oppressive situations and I feel a sense of duty and calling to continue to reach out to individuals like my teenage self – struggling to find a place in a world where they feel completely isolated. I find fulfillment through activism and I feel like I can really improve the quality of life for my community with higher education. I have realized my passion is to create a safer community that respects all minorities and ensuring that the next generation has it easier then the generations that have sacrificed before me.
