Why do people shun us
Why do they hate us
Isn’t our love like theirs
Just the same
What did we do to hurt you
Or to offend you
Only because our sex is
Just the same
For each and every right
We have had to fight
Aren’t our rights like yours
Just the same
Peel back the flesh
Look at the bone
Aren’t we all when dead and gone
Just the same
Does it matter
After all the chatter
Love is love
Just the same
So what if genital a
Doesn’t slot into genital b
My feelings like yours can be hurt
Just the same
What will it take
What do you need
To let me love mine, like you
Just the same
So much hate
So much scorn
Wars have been fought for less
Just the same
I’m not wierd
I’m not strange
Just to confuse you, I may be queer
Just the same
Leave me to love
Leave me in peace
As I leave you
Just the same
