My heroes are not from a comic book you see,
They were ordinary people just like you and me,
They saw the darkness that the world could be,
And decided to change what everyone else couldn't see,
They saw the bad in the world and stood up for people like me,
What made us different is what others hated,
But what made us different also made us unique,
It made us strong as a community instead of as one,
The legends I admire stood for what they believed to be right,
For everyone's lives to be equal and true,
I will never forget those who stood before me,
They fought for my love and freedom,
People think my lifestyle is a mistake,
But people like that live in a prison,
The prison within their minds for they don't see how the world has evolved,
It's shifted and changed but one thing will always remain,
The world will always have those that will seem to be filled with hate,
Hate for those like me the ones that stand out,
Fear of what they don't understand,
But if they would just sit and ask we would be happy to tell them,
The history of the community is strong for the roots go deep and far,
We may not be completely equal or safe but we are smart and we are one.
