Why should you care who I love?

It's not like it's the only thing I'm made of.

It's not even any of your business unless I make it so

My life is not some game show.

God forbid we even use our rainbows

You get up in arms and claim we're taking YOUR rights

And claim we're shoving it in your faces when we dare to fight

I should be able to be proud of who I am

I'm just another human, *******.

You don't need straight pride,

That's every day, worldwide

We are persecuted, murdered, beat up, every day

For being who we are, for just being gay

But we stand up, because God loves us

And Jesus said love each other, so what is there even to discuss?

Thank you to those who support us.

Love is love

THAT is what I'm made of.
