That Love is Love
People should be able to love who they desire,
and marry who they want.
It’s not anyone’s choice
or business,
especially the government’s.

That Black Lives Matter
It is not OK to criticize
Someone’s actions and decisions
based off the color of their skin.
She is not a lesser person
because of her skin color.

That Global Climate Change is Real
It’s science.
Look at the data.
The Earth is warming.
It is NOT just a natural thing.
Humans are a part of it.
We destroy our environment.

That No Human Being is Illegal
Just because someone
enters America illegally
does NOT
make them illegal.
Deporting them is not the answer.
Deportation doesn’t help them
get out of the bad situation
they might be in.

That Women’s Rights are Human Rights
Women are humans,
and should be treated equally to men.
Women should be paid
as much as men,
to complete the same job.

That Women Have Agency Over Their Bodies
Nobody can tell women
what they can and cannot do with their bodies.
Some people say and think women
are lesser than men,
or should stay in the kitchen
or are only good for reproduction,
I argue that a women can do all the things a man can do,
including choosing their career,
choosing when/if they want to have children,
and getting a good education.

That All Genders are Whole, Holy, and Good.
LGBTQ people
are not mistakes.
They are still humans
and no lesser than anyone else.
I believe in equal rights
for everyone no matter
their skin color, race, or gender,
and that all people
should have the freedom
to express their beliefs and opinions like me.
