"Ask yourself what kind of person do you wanna be? And how many commandments are gonna rule how you think? And do we really mean it when we say He loves us all? And do we really believe it when they say that we're created equal? Of course I do, I'm not a racist, or an asshole. Yet, we can treat them less if their love is homosexual. Well, rules are rules. And the Bible's pretty clear here. Yeah, we know, we get it. But we don't live by procedure. We decide what's right, by what's right. Not what's written. We evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions. We don't exclude people based on the footnotes of exodus. Like my friend Halie who loves both of her dad's. You wanna tell her their love is different? You wanna make that distinction? You wanna tell her that this beautiful, and limitless thing we called love has rules? And a proper way to do it? And that their love, is less love, because an old book don't approve it. I guess, here's how I see it: you gotta heartbeat like mine. Probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine. Well me love, es su love. Same Heart. Same Love. Bout time that we raised up, same-sex ... press play, don't press pause, progress press on. With the veil over our eyes, we turn our backs to the cause. A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who they are. And a certificate on paper isn't gonna change it all, but it's a damn good place to start. So it's time that we stand without a doubt or concession. Rather than sitting here gridlocked in oppression. We all raise our voices until their too loud to ignore. signing songs of acceptance.
For those individuals who say things like, "we aren't created equal".
No, sir, we aren't created equal, but you shouldn't get more rights, and privileges over another HUMAN being.
That's the equality I am FIGHTING for. I am fighting for equal rights, equal pay, equal privileges. I want my children to look back, and think how ridiculous it was for people to have to fight for marriage. Just like I look back and think about how ridiculous it was for people of color to be treated the way that they were. Yet they still fight, daily, for equal rights, and pay . . . even though it is between the lines.
Don't tell me that same-sex marriage is ruining the sanctity of marriage, that you need a man and a woman to raise a child, that reverse-racism exists, or even that women are treated equal to men in the work place, or anywhere for that matter.
Humanity. Love. Respect. = for all.
