LGBT Poem

I never understood who I was. The views of my peers and family seemed to overcome my own. It wasn't until I had my first kiss that I realized this. But I was different and to the world it was unknown. I hid within myself afraid of being an outcast to a society that did this so easily. My first girlfriend made me forget about the silent whispers and glaring looks. Because being myself came naturally. Hateful words still surrounded me. Sometimes it was deafening. But the love of another human, was second nature.  I believe that God loves us all.  There is nothing wrong with me or the LGBT community. You say I have committed a sin for being proud of who  I am. You yell about your Christianity and scream at me with your profanity. Yet you consider yourself to be Holy. Behind closed doors you commit sins as well, but because of your heterosexuality you have a better chance at heaven than me?  It is within your right to shout out your beliefs. But forgive me when I tell you that gay is okay and that same love is great. And to please have no hate towards me. Forgive me for asking for equal rights and for pursuit of happiness. The only thing that is wrong with me is not being able to be myself without being hurt by words. And the worst part is being so alone. Because so many people are afraid to show who they are. Instead of communicating we say hurtful words behind the screen of a phone.  You don't understand. Because my love is never ending such as yours yet you aren't aren't so forgiving. All I want is a place that feels like home. With the girl of my dreams.  But this kind of love must be known because It must be accepted just as yours is so easily..
