BLM ＆LGBTQ+

Why do you support Christians and Buddhists and Jews

But not Black lives matter and LGBTQ?

Please show me where LGBTQ is a sin

Because I am prepared to let you win

But as a women who is Bi

I cannot just stand by

and watch as my brothers and sisters die

Because words are my pride

and I cannot ignore

My people, black or white, LGBTQ or straight

No matter how much destruction you create

So please show me, why you don't support

Did your religious leader say nothing of the sort?

Did they say that it is a sin

because we are different from the people akin

Did we come and attack you?

Offend you in some way?

Because you should be flattered

That we could love you the same way

As someone who is straight

Or someone who is white

I am a white girl

But that doesn't mean you have the right

To say racial slurs and talk behind backs

Even if you don't consider me one of the pack

Because i do not separate you by color

I do not separate you by ethnicity

I do not separate you by your religion

And I do not separate you if you are LGBTQ

I look around and see my people

Not black people and white people and straight people and gay people

I see happy people and sad people and angry people and excited people. 

I see the people that have been created by god or buddha or science

I see the people of the world, the world we have created

and while some I love

Others I hate

For they are a disgrace

They are spiteful people with narrow minds

Who cannot see you, but you are divine

You are beautiful and strong

And the people who don't support you?

They can fuck off. 

Because you aren't who you're meant to be, fate did not bring you here. 

You did. 

You chose the decisions that led you on this path

You chose to be LGBTQ or not

And you chose to be straight or not

I will not separate you if you are straight

Only if you hate

If you do not support BLM or LGBTQ, 

then I will separate you from the pack. 

Because you are the people I'm talking at

So shut your mouths, and read my words

Read the feelings of someone who has been hurt

Read the opinions of a brilliant mind

Listen to the voice of an angels sigh

And watch the steady hand of an artist

All of these people could be black or LGBTQ

and you might not even know it

You don't support them in their personal lives

Yet you listen to them or buy their pride and joy?

What is wrong with those people in this world?

I have not killed or stolen or raped or wronged you

Yet you still throw me to the wolves like I've conned you?

Let me tell you what. 

You throw me to the wolves, and I will come back leading the pack. 

This I can guarantee, for this is a FACT

Guys, I had this idea in the shower and had to rush out to type it so I hope you're grateful *sniffle* (lol). 

Apologies if I didn't mention your religion or anything, I was trying to make it rhyme, but this does apply to you as well. Now, I don't want hate or backlash or anything, but I am a bi women and I wanted to say something as I have recently come out, and words are my power. 

OH, and I forgot to put before, that "Throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the pack" Is NOT, I repeat NOT my quote, I do not own it, nor did I write it, SJM The QUEEN wrote it, and it's from ACOTAR. 

SO, if you're going to put hateful comments, kindly fuck off. However, I do want to know if anyone supports LGBTQ, BLM, and any other things. 

I don't want to hear anything super political like I support this desicion this person made and this is the world leader I follow. I just want to know if you support BLM and LGBTQ. 

I know some religions don't support LGBTQ+, but just because the church, or whatever place of worship, doesn't support it, doesn't mean you don't have to. 

There's a clip from an Irish TV show called Mrs. Brown's Boys, where her son and his boyfriend are getting married, and the father from the church shows up. Mrs. Brown asks him what he's doing here and recalls that he said the church doesn't support gay weddings. 

To which he replied, "No Mrs. Brown, I said the CHURCH doesn't support gay marriage. I'm happy to celebrate love in whatever form it comes."

This isn't the clip I was talking about, (I can't find it on youtube) but it's equally as important. Please watch this video. 

Thank you for watching this video, I hope it's enlightened you at least a wee bit. 

Love,
