A
homophobic neighbour once snarled at me, ‘I hope all you gays get your just
deserts.’
I
hope so too … and may it include the freedom to fall in love and be loved in return by the person of our choice just as nature intended - for us all, whatever our ethnicity, sexuality, religion or, yes, age too.
BREAKING OUT or G-A-Y, STANDING UP FOR SEXUALITY
Shedding
shackles that bind,
leaving
fear and suspicion behind,
getting
the life we deserve, born free
to
fall in love ...
Coming
but into our identity,
nature’s
gift of life and sexuality,
deaf
to threats of those world cultures
clinging
to its scriptures
Refuting
legends of Creation
denying
us any hope of salvation
for fearlessly and, oh, so passionately
embracing our sexuality
Taking
on biased critics
misinterpreting
the hieroglyphics
supposedly
expressed in ancient theses
on
living nemeses
Mending
fences torn apart,
reclaiming
territories of the heart
under
attack by a (so) bigoted morality
sponsored
by Society
Making
a stand for humanity
against
those calling for ‘propriety’
based
on some so-called ‘moral’ stance
that
we cause offence
Shedding
shackles that bind,
leaving
fear and suspicion behind,
getting
the life we deserve, born free
to
fall in love …
