Heterosexuality: A sin.Hello, I'm straight.
And I am regularly asking God, why he'd decide to be so cruel as to make me this way? It isn't any fair. In a world where everybody is homosexual. It is so hard for me. They point at me and whisper behind my back. Calling me nothing more than an animal. An animal! They say that if God intended us to be mindless animals that he wouldn't have given us the minds or the ability to create life without performing animalistic sex acts. They call me unnatural. What's wrong with me? Why am I this way? I sometimes wish I were a lesbian. Or at least bi-sexual. Although those poor souls are often being picked on for not "making up

RainbowsIs it because I held hands without flinching
Or because I can't be the same,
That gives them the nerve to judge me
Without even knowing my name?

The devil isn't when you love someone
Despite the fact you both wear skirts
The devil is when a person hates someone
It's only a sin when it truly hurts

Listen to me hard, and take it in
You are not in the wrong when you hear
A bigoted heart say your love's a sin
That heart is frozen by an ignorant fear

If blue were simply the color blue
And a red rose can't be white
If I'm not supposed to be with you
Because somebody says it's not right
Then rainbows are colossal fuck ups

EqualityI am a cheater, I am a liar
I am a prophet, I am a fighter

I have plans, I have love
I always duck, from up above

I am the truth, I am the pain
I am the troubled, and the sane

I will fight, I will stand
I will fall, until I land

I am the hidden, and the open
I am the forgotten, and the stolen

I am you, I am he
I am she, I am we

I am all that we long for; equality.

Simple DefinitionsHate...

Noun, Attributive Noun, and Verb.

"Intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury." - Merriam Webster Dictionary.

To feel hostility or animosity toward.

To detest.

"The emotion of intense dislike; a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action." - The Free Dictionary by Farlex.

Such a mean little word.

It's been with us since before 900 AD.

It appears in many languages, in nearly the same form. Old Frisian, Old High German, Dutch, Old Saxon, Old Icelandic, Gothic, Old English, Old Norse.

There has certainly never seemed to be a shortage of it.

In truth it seems we have spread it o

P is for PANSEXUALWhy is it every time I see the good ol' "LGBT" acronym extended to LGBTQAS and so on so forth..
But rarely so I ever see a "P" thrown anywhere in there?

Are we not a part of it? Do people still see us as bisexual? It's not like I'm asking for much, I just wish more people had knowledge of the "P". And that more would acknowledge the "P". We're real too. And as a "P" I would like to see it included as folders in more groups I'm in and see. I would like to see and hear the "P" included in that long standing acronym for "FREEDOM". Not much to ask. Even when professionals of LGBT youth organizations use the "full" acronym, rarely do I hear a "P

Beyond The HorizonWe ran out of our homes
And our dream quelling streets
Until mud under foot
Had replaced the concrete

From suburb to city
On to the countryside
We were running away
But not trying to hide

The world was still spinning
Faster than we could move
Though our hearts were breaking
Our poets' words would sooth

We left a cloud grey town
And in time reached the sea
Our home for so long
Evolution tells me

To the deepest warm blue
From the coolest pitch black
Shackles fell with each stroke
With our dreams still intact

Surrounded by fishes
Guiding us from the deep
Every league of ascent
Reinforced our belief

That it's the world,

Marriage Equality

Picture this; a spring afternoon with a slight breeze in the air. You see yourself in a new black tux. As you raise your head you see crowded seats surrounding an isle and at the end of the isle, a man, also in a tux. This is your weeding day and that is your soon to be husband. This special day is something that millions of people dream of and for many of those people, this dream may never come to flourish. Shouldn't everyone be able to enjoy their special day?

The Monster that is MyselfMy heart skipped a beat.
The phone rang,
Almost endlessly.
I couldn't take it anymore!
Why couldn't they answer?
The line clicked,
a faint 'Hello?' came through.
Faster, my heart raced.
My throat became dry,
my words shaky.
A reassuring nod came from the person next to me.
Suddenly, my mouth opened.
All things poured out at once,
my body heaved and trembled,
afraid of rejection.
I sat crying as the person thought.
'We love you always,'
a reassuring tone.
Finally, it was out.
I was finally free from the monster.
My breathing grew normal,
my thoughts calmed.
I couldn't believe the horror was over,
But I was relieved to be free,
from the monster that is myself.

In The Name of Those Oppressed
This is for
the little boy
in some
corner of the world
Who's beaten
every time
his father
sees him in a dress

For the young woman
that's dealing with:
puberty;
drama;
middle-school life
Who was just
abandoned
by all her peers
and
is now hated by her world
Because she's gay

This is for all
the
questioning teens
Who are too scared to show the world
who
they
are
Because society
likes to play God
And shuns us
hates us
and
discriminates
against us

Because we don't fit into their little box of normal

And so must be

Nightmare: The Compulsive LiarNightmare: The Compulsive Liar

Step by step
You attempt to walk away from yourself
Breath after breath
You try your best to not call out for help

I am so far from you, I am are better off this way

One tear after another
You were never good at hiding your feelings
All of those cuts seem to go deeper and deeper
You were always the one who took in all of our suffering

I don't know you anymore, I no longer recognize that face

Day by day
You endure this storm of scars
Night after night
You silently cry alone in the dark

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm fine, I'm okay

One dream after another
You see all of the things you

The CourtCase: The Juror DescriptionsBefore I start the next part, I would like to describe to you the people that will be debating this homosexual boy's fate.
Juror Number One: She has lived a long life filled with lies and torment, however she will work through anything, and from that she understands other's pains. When it comes to homosexuality, though, she was unaware it even existed until this court case.
Juror Number Two: He has been a drug addicted man, but going to rehab he changed. Still have some urges he has not been known to be violent, but has been suggested. He believes homosexuality is wrong.
Juror Number Three: He just turned thirty and is still dreaming about being in politics. He admires all presidents, congressman, the whole nine yards. Believing he is destined to be the world's first Indian president he tried to look at all the facts to be able to give a veto or approve.
Juror Number Four: She was an accountant for ten years and then retired after her husband won the lottery. Being famous for her wealt

AddictionMy friend who supports me
My friend who kills me
My friend who loves me
and who I certainly love.

Will you give it to me
Your narcotic vengeance
Which I crave so much
and I want it to take me

Oh, my putrid friend
My sweet enemy
Will you take my conciousness
and leave it behind?

I love you my strange friend.
Give me what I want.
and you shall have me
For your disposal.

Then by All Means...

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

... Send me to hell

If something as pure
As sweet, sweet, ever lasting love
Is a sin?

Then by all means, send me to hell

If the fact
That I am willing to DIE
For the one I love
If the fact
our love
Isn't as good as yours

Then by all means, send me to hell

At least I know
That if I cannot spend a true eternity with her here
But I can there

Then by all means, send me to hell

I'll shield her from the engulfing flames of it
I'll fend off the devil himself
I'll keep her safe and happy
And if the only way I can do this is there

Then by all means, send me to hell

I do not fear
Nor loath it
My only fear
Is for you

Because what you do, too, is sin

Then by all means

I'll see you there too.

Aaaaw...this is beautiful.

... I...

My reactions are torn here, my darling.

Part of me wants to cry that your words are so sweet and so pained... and so very loving that it makes my heart hurt...

Part of me wants to find whoever made you feel this way and curse them to the pits of Hell myself.

... Either way, I love you.

You should just give them this piece of your mind, I would if I was in your shoes.

Amazing work.

~CuddleSlut17 May 15, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I'm all for gays being happy even though I may disagree with things like marriage. I'm still supportive of people's happiness. I can not deny this is absolutely beautiful and the last stanza is by far amazing. People that use the Bible to hurt people are rude. God loves all.

~calling363 May 15, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

This is absolutely gorgeous. Nice work!
