Dear Straight People 

Dear bigots, and homophobes, and haters

Dear close-minded republicans 

Listen up 

Listen to the sound of my voice 
As I speak 

As I scream at the top of my lungs 

The colors

That make 

Me. 

Dear straight people

Thank you 

For your over-used, stereotypical arguments 

Against a love that is each of our 

Own 

Inalienable 

Rights 

Because your god is different

Than mine 

Dear straight people 

Dear people who reject their children and peers 

Dear bastards 

Calm down 

Don't think so highly of yourselves 

That when I hold my girlfriend's hand or kiss her

That you have the right to slash our throats 

With words of rejection and malice

Binding our right 
Behind your whim 

Dear straight people 

Don't pick and chose your verses 

As they suit your selfish needs 

Don't smear my God's name with your mortal hatred

Don't mar the world we share with such tiny

Insignificant 

Sins. 

Dear straight people

Please

I ask this much of you because I am human too 

And all I really need is love 

Dear Straight People 

Remember, in the end, 

It was God

Who promised 
A rainbow.
