My sister and her boyfriend go on dates a lot
You'd think their hands were glued together, they're never apart.
They are told how adorable they are and kiss each other as if no one is watching.
I want that.
But when I hold my girlfriends hand I am looked at as if I am holding a smoking pistol.
When we go to restaurants they spit in our food.
I take her to a baseball game and the elderly couple behind us openly discusses how disgusting we are.
We are not disgusting, we were born and brave enough to rip the hinges off our closets.
The only comments we receive are "God Hates F***", and she cries and I pretend to be strong even though at just 17 I am realizing that in my comforting home of the Mid-West, I will never be considered human.
