Equality.


"All men are created equal"

bullshit.

If all men are created equal,

why do some hide in fear of their friends,

their family?

why do some have to escape their countries,

or stay and die?

why do some not have the same rights,

not allowed to marry who they love?

If all men are created equal,

why do gay men not have the same rights as straight ones?

why do lesbian women not have the same rights as straight ones?

Why is gay marriage different from straight marriage,

it's just marriage, not rocket science.
