As the right to marry continues to be appealed in California, with those proponents who want to deny the LGBT American Citizens this right also continuing to spread their campaign of bigotry and discrimination, we will stand strong in this one thing. We will NEVER give up until full equality is given us under this Constitution.
You have tried to lynch us
with your self righteous rhetoric
while you seethe like hungry wolves
from your ornate pulpits
pouncing after innocent prey…
Your self proclaimed God appointed Jihad against us
is not grounded in love but in the age old
power struggles for the souls and lives of men forced
to kneel before your gluttonous altars built on the blood
of babes and those exiled to living hells created
by your vile hate coated with religious gold and scripture…
Like your venomous campaigns before, you will fail
against the mighty scepter of justice where the rights of
the individual trumped the bigoted majority and
where religious bias has no place
Only equality, for all, in a land of the free…

Oh yea…they all talk of freedom and equality! But quite apparently, these are just a bunch of words to “them”, with no meaning!!
I support freedom! I support equality! I support everything, provided it doesn’t harm others!!
A very poignant poem… backed up with great pictures!!!
Thanks for sharing this one, T…

I am amazed.. I appreciate what you are doing here.. Like we all love to HARP and do absolutely nothing about anything.. We boast and don’t believe.. Here my friend- one lovely effort.. that’s about the theme..
The words are intense and like powerful enough to create a storm..

Thank you, Olivia. So much to do before full equality is realized.
