It doesn’t interest me how “proper” or respectable you look.
I want to know if you are willing to risk
the disapproval of your peers, family and friends,
to articulate honestly what ignites your passion.
It doesn’t impress me highly educated you are.
I want to know if you truly know your ****** self and preferences.
Not what society wants you to love or hate,
but what your soul is genuinely drawn to,
even if it is deemed “perverse” or politically incorrect.
It does not matter to me if you are gentlemanly or ladylike.
I want to know if you dare to reveal the animal in you,
despite what is taught by your religion, your moral upbringing.
or the tribalism of your own ***.
It does not matter to me if you are popular or shunned.
I want to know if you dare to stand alone,
to be ostracized if need be,
in defense of what you know to be natural, good and true.
