Hello world! Guess what? I'm gay!
I'm married to a guy- yes, I know it's strange.
My friend, Marla? She's a les.
Doesn't mean she's worth any less.
How 'bout Elane? She is bi.
She can like a girl as much as a guy.
What about Alan? He is queer.
Doesn't mean he can't be sincere.
We are all people. Surprising, I know.
No need to put us in your shadow.
We're all made equal, with equal rights.
We all share the stage- there is no spotlight.
Stop pushing us away, calling us freaks.
We're the same as you. We can turn our cheek.
We have an opinion. We can tune in.
And guess what? We are all human.
