You Don't Deserve An Opinion

You don't deserve an opinion she said,

As she rocked back on her chair and tilted her head.

You're wrong in what you think,

your opinions are stupid and stink.

How I wish I could tell her just what I think.

I walked away without forgetting to wink.

In rage and fury she told me I was wrong,

all I could do is wait for the bell to gong.

Her manner arose from a political discussion,

Truthfully she sounded like she had a concussion.

You don't deserve an opinion she said,

all because I thought a man and man should be wed.

I may not agree with her ideals

and I definitely don't know how it feels.

But if she fights against basic human rights,

how can I be expected not to act in spite.

I don't deserve and opinion apparently,

the same way a man and a man can't be married because it's not manly.

I know that I'm straight, but with all this hate 

why can't we all be friends, even if we can't mate.

My teacher is a homophobic lunatic. She needs a reality check. I'm straight, but support gay rights.

I'm with you. I'm bi, though and I'm to afraid to be open about  it because I don't think I can take the bullying. If you love someone, you should be able to be with them, no matter what gender they are. Who's with me on this?

When I said I thought she had a concussion.

I absolutely love this poem! I've dealt with a similar situation with one of my old teachers, but it was because I am bisexual.
