To The Couple/I'm a Human
To the couple who left when I entered the resturant with my boyfriend:
I'm sorry my queerness offended you!
In fact, that shouldn't even be something I should have to say.
I'm not sorry, I'm beautiful.
I'm not sorry, I'm fabulous.
I'm not sorry, I'm a human.
But you just don't understand yet, do you?
You don't understand that I am a human.
Or that I'm beautiful or fabulous or queer because as far as you're concerned, being queer is just a mental disorder.
Well let me tell you guys: it's not!
So to the couple who left when I entered the resturant with my boyfriend,
to the couple who made me hate myself for a split second,
that made me feel embarassed and scared,
I'm a human.
