have you ever
been
stopped
from going into the
ICU
because you are not
next of kin?
because her parents
did not approve
of your relationship?
have you ever
been
told
you cannot
celebratehonordignify
your relationship
because
someone out there
will be offended
that someone thinks
to
celebratehonordignify
your relationship
means denegrating
theirs
have you ever
fear
that someone
may tell on you
at home
at work
anywhere
and your life
will come
crashing down
after you have been
exposed
have you ever
lost
friends
because
they do not have hope
dreams
of a future
and they end it
the suffering
the bullying
the pain
with a step
off the ledge
off the chair
have you ever
encountered
people
who are more
obsessed
with your sex life
than
you?
because that's
my gay lifestyle.
