The Gay Thing

My lack of comprehension surrounding homophobia.

There should be no need for Gay Pride marches.
Let’s just get on with it together.
We’re all human.
Full stop.

I can’t work homophobic people out.
They’re so full of undefinable anger.
I don’t know what their problem is
But it’s a deep-seated one.

Most gay people don’t HATE straight people.
I can understand why there are certain sorts that they do.
The gay friends that I have are generally more fun to be around.
They are more gentle, compassionate and have a better sense of humour.

One day….and it’s coming soon….
The great divide will be no more
And to my way of thinking
The world will be a better place for it.

Hope the great divide goes the way of the dinosaurs & we can all live together in peace or have a piece if we so desire...-e-

It would be nice if the "Great Divide" you are referring to would take place without anger and rancor, but with the simple understanding that we need to have everybody just be who they are and not be belittled in any way for their way of being.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
