My Love

I am you & you are me, i love just like you. But my love is not recognised, it is met with taunts and fear when i walk down the street holding the hand of my dear. My love is not recognised by my family who feels that love between men is immoral. My love is not recognised by my faith who believes my love is perverted. My love is not recognised by my Government who denies me basic human rights. My love is recognised by my dear, but it has a price, it is a constant battle, just to make it through everyday hurt of being refused. I am the same as you & you are the same as me, i love just like you. Yet i will never know what it is like to be you, as you will never know what it is like to be me.

QUOTES

When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one. ~Epitaph of Leonard P. Matlovich, 1988 (Thanks, Marlene)

The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. ~Lynn Lavner

Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? ~Ernest Gaines

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." ~Robin Tyler

There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved. ~Boy George

The diagnosis of homosexuality as a "disorder" is a contributing factor to the pathology of those homosexuals who do become mentally ill.... Nothing is more likely to make you sick than being constantly told that you are sick. ~Ronald Gold
