Apparently we belong to The "minority" Some kind of "riotry". Because we love someone of the same gender Or perhaps we're not cisgender. Suddenly loving is a crime Harmless expression of what's within- is the biggest blunder there ever could be. Heart's content is criticised. They brand us names, FREAKS! DISGRACE! OUTLAWS! Make mockery out of innocence Demean our mere existence. They want "normal"? Then maybe it's themselves who are the problem. They want us to hide and blend in, Go back into this "closet" we "came out" of? (Ha, good luck with that) They think we're alone But we are not. There's one love  In all our hearts, Beating together Creating art. We show the world Consented love needs no apology Expression needs no **** apology! So much cruelty So much hate. But, you know what? We can't back down And be another statistical figure. Take pride in loving each other Take pride in being true to yourself. Pay no heed to those who say otherwise, Take a stand, you glorious beast. All in all, we come in peace.
