This poem might upset some of you, and it may stop you from reading more of my poems. If it does, then go ahead, leave. I don't mind how many views I have. I do appreciate your support, but if you have something against gay rights (which I don't understand), then don't read this poem.

Someone explain to me, please,

How they're different from you or me.

What have they done that's so wrong?

So they sing a different song

That you don't particularly like.

Suck it up! That's my advice.

Just because they're different, you're afraid,

But who are you to say

Who they should be?

Why should they act differently?

They can't help who they are

Any more than you can.

They could go far

But instead we ban

Their happiness, their freedom of choice,

Just because you're filled with disgust.

I hate shrimp, but can I make them illegal?

I'm not quite sure you have a brain in your skull.

You want someone to fall in love because of form instead of personality?

You think that they can help their sexuality?

Well, they can't, it's not their decision,

They didn't choose that life with exactness and precision,

They were born like this,

They can't help it.

So just let it go!

This is ridiculous, you know.

They're people, and so are you!

Why are ideas that are new

So horrifying to you?

I don't get it, I don't think I ever will.

But go ahead, state your opinion. I'll listen to that as well.

I just don't see

Why they're treated differently

They aren't all that different from you or me.
