Favorite Quote:
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face.” ~Franz Kafka


They think in this world Queer doesn’t belong,

And our identities are just wrong.

Their love is confined right,

And ours is just a hideous sight.

What they don’t see is the rainbow we have created all along;

Shining and unified through the same light.


The author's comments:

“It takes no compromise to give people their rights…it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. And it takes no survey to remove repression.”
