I Just Want to Love

They told me I'm different - That I'm not the same. They said love can only come To those who aren't gay. I reared my head back And laughed like a fool. But there was no hilarity In what I had done. They knew I was gay - But I'm not the only one. Millions of us are out there. We just want to be seen As equals, no more And no less we should be. Love conquers all. Why not this, too? Why can't I just love Who I want And not be considered As an insignifcant fool. I'm not doing this To wave the rainbow flag high Or to make you feel bad, I just want to know why. Why can't I be accepted For who I am? I don't tear you down For the gender you love. So why must you do it to me? I just want to love.
