They will be banished and rot eternally,
looked down upon socially,
and not fully accepted worldwide.
Not given second chances anymore,
you don't have an excues this time to hate,
no snotty whim, nor color of skin.
Shunned and frowned upon.
Socially murdered.
Words flung like swords,
and bullet shattering looks.
A holy book damns them forever, society cursing their lives and namesake.

All for what?
Did they attack you?
Steal your children in the shadow of the night?
Bomb your building?
Are they a threat? At all?

Lives ruined by media, spat on by other people.
Opportunities for relationships crushed.
All because of the way they love.



Well turn the page, look at it backwards.
What if it was the other way around?
And now, loving someone of the different sex is a curse.
Said to turn your heart black to ash and dust.
Falling in love is now a vile disease that condemns you to the corners of pure hate to be jeered at by others.
As you die, disintegrating in your grave, your soul will be devoured and tortured as a punishment of the one thing we were put on this earth to do.

Love.

Whether it is in your commandments or taught to you.
It is engraved inside of you.
Pulsing through your veins, spreading, it's what we should do.

Love. Enough said.

From the years at the catholic church that i did not fully agree with, the most important thing that i learned was that
GOD PUT US ON THE EARTH TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
and it seems to me, that it would be very stupid of whomever wrote the bible to say that we are supposed to love, then tell us we will be damned to hell if we love the same sex.
But idk, my church likes to go back on its word, and i dunno maybe im just a crazy ranter

BUT ANSWER THIS:
What if being straight was morally wrong? If you were spat on, insulted (by people and media), shunned, looked down upon, rejected from jobs, attacked, not given rights.
What if you were them? Would you fight for your love/ love orientation? Or would you fall in the back and pretend not to be wo you are?

If I has to choose between loving you, and breathing, I would use my last breath to say, "I love you."
:iconpurplewallflower:

Love is the disease, love is the cure. If you have love, spread it. If you don't, create it

I love this poem! *squee* I was raised in a house where likeing the same sex was the equivalent of being cursed to hell forever. I always knew that was wrong.
(For Christians): Think about it...if your god didn't want people of the same sex to love each other then why is it so? Except it as it is...a fact of life.

Oh, and no, Im not just a unique snowflake, Im a unique piece of plastic. Because 97% of snowflakes melt before they hit the ground, but plastic will be here even after our ozone layer disentergrates.
