Am I Not Human?

Am I not human just like you?

Do I not also have a heart that beats blood just like you?

Do I not feel love towards a person who is significant to me?

I walk, I talk just like you.

So what makes me not equal to you?

Is it because I love someone of the same gender?

If so, then what makes your love better than mine?

I am human, she is too

I have the same unalienable rights just like you.

If I wanted to bear arms, I could

If I wanted to say something,

I have the freedom of speech

So what is this nonsense that you teach?

That a woman and woman, man and a man, can not marry

Tiffany and Christina, Steve and Larry

Isn't our love not the same as yours;

Do we not look at our significant other and feel love, passion?

No more sitting around and being quiet,

It's time to take action.

I am a human and I too love!

Even if it's the same gender, it's the same love

And it fits just like a glove.
