Needing To Pass The Verdict


Woman+man,woman+woman,man+man

I see no difference like a black child holding a white child's hand

So what's the difference when it comes to love and gender

They say love should be like a picture without a filter

LGBT should not be a voice of who you are

People really think humans need labels like they're purchasing a new car

Wow, there's a lesbian, a gay, a bisexual, a transgender

Love should be shown and expressed without needing a filter

Killings of black males are okay,but gay marriage people say they see a difference

That just shows of the real society which we live in

A 8-year old boy was killed because he was gay

Now, you tell me that wasn't an action of hate?!

People should be able to love who they wish

Feel free like a fish in a fishtank in a bowl full of fish

When you want something, you have to be willing to fight

Passing the gay marriage law, isn't as easy as curing a mosquito bite

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., had ''A DREAM'' and got what he wished

But gays can not be allowed in public to seal a kiss

If they are seen, they are being judged and critized

Wanting to come out the closet, but instead we are hiding behind curtains and blinds

<p>Many people live their lives by judging others, but there life isn't perfect themselves. The LGBT/GAY community affects me personally. People should&nbsp;&nbsp;not be judged for what they are, but it happens.</p>
