As a straight individual, I grew up never understanding the hate for same-sex couples. My family would bash on them, stating things like 'How disgusting' and so would the local community when I was younger, even now remains an alarming amount of stigma. The place I'm from, Gibraltar, doesn't even have same-sex legalised yet. There is a lot of stigma towards same-sex couples, so that some of them have to keep their relationships in secret due to the pressure. I'm friends with one same-sex couple and along with the normal relationship issues they receive, they also have to deal with stigma from others which is dreadful to hear. They shouldn't have to face this enormous pain at all and this poem reflects my feelings towards the stigma.
