Why does it matter?
Liking the same gender.
Having an unconditional connection with another soul.
Knowing somebody loves you, and that you love them.
Why does it matter?
What religion says about same sex relationships.
The judgment society bypasses.
One day, I promise, it will all end.
All of the head spinning judgment.
All of the gut wrenching stares, and thoughts that could kill.
It will all end.
Your fragile wings will no longer be shattered.
You will blissfully rise above the hatred.
And you will be happy.
So why does it matter?
