LGBT (Slam Poem #2)

LGBT. You may have never heard of this acronym before, Or maybe you associate it with liberals, or Obama, Or hippies. LGBT stands for: Lesbian: I was approached by a straight man At a gay bar, who asked me if I wanted to 'have a good time'. I told him no. I could see something in his eyes Flicker, and he asked me why I told him I only liked women In that regard He stood up angrily, And told me that I was an Ugly d*ke anyway. LGBT stands for Gay: I was holding hands with My boyfriend while We were walking in the park. We watched an older woman Walk up to us and say, "You're going to hell." I said, "I'll see you there," She glared at me before Storming off in a rage, mumbling, "Disgusting f*g." On her way. LGBT stands for Bisexual: I came out to my family today. My cousin said, "You're just confused." My father said, "Don't you dare walk in My house with a f*ggot." My mother said, "Pick a side." My supposed "friends" said, "You're just desperate and greedy." I've been dating an amazing person That I can never share if I want to Stay on good terms with "family". LGBT stands for Transgender: I binded my chest today With Ace bandages even though I know it's extremely unsafe Because I didn't want to be Seen as a girl again. I finally cut my own hair And when I told my mom why She told me, "Leave before your father gets home." I am sleeping on my friend's couch tonight Because my parents couldn't accept me As their son. You might associate the acronym LGBT With liberals. Liberals that don't use their religion as an Excuse when they're really just scared. Or Obama who said, "No one in America Should be scared to walk down the street Holding the hand of the person they love." Or hippies who refuse to conform to Heteronormativity, because it only matters That you love, the who or when or where or why or How Doesn't matter nearly as much. People are more than their secondary *** Characteristics. "Love thy neighbor as thyself", right?
