Dear Cricket,
You are every bit as american as I. I am non-Christian. I am white, but I am also transgendered. I served in the military, but when they discovered that I was transgendered, I was permanently disqualified from further military service.
Still, I am American, though not necessarily proud of the fact. As I mentioned in other posts, I think that many Americans do much to demean America.
In any case, I would be proud to stand beside you, in trouble or celebration. I'm sorry for the fear that you feel. I'm sorry you live in a place that doesn't make you feel more welcome. I'm sorry for the ignorance and judgement that so many in this country approach those of different races and religions and sexual or gender identities with.
--Dee
