How can you hate somebody because of who they love?
I don't understand how you can do that.
They don't hate you because of who you love.

They are the same as you are.
They breathe, eat, and sleep.
They have families.
They fall in love.

I understand they love the same gender as themselves.
That is just who they love.
Why does it make you so angry?

Friend, I'm sorry.
I think what I am fixing to tell you might ruin our friendship.
I am one of them.

I'm not sorry.
I wish you would understand that I can't help who I love.
