Now you see us.
Out of our closets,
We march with pride and resolve.
We have journeyed far
From Stonewall, Bowers, and Lawrence.
Now we proceed as brothers
On an endless forest trail,
Never stopping to bathe in the showers of light
That rain through the treetops as the canopy thins,
Because we know
It is not about religions or politicians.
It is standing hand-in-hand,
Until death do us part,
Equal.

This piece was inspired by my involvement in the Gay-Straight Alliance at my school as well as the recent news related to the gay community.
