if they were right

"People feel profoundly that
homosexuality is not equal.
It is, I'm afraid
Gross and unnatural"

And if he were right, I'd agree...

"To say to children that
there are alternatives in life
which are equally valid
is not right."

And if she were right, I'd agree...

"It is wrong that a young person
should be free to embark on a course of action
that might lead to a lifestyle
that would separate him from the
mainstream life of friends and family."

And if she were right, I'd agree...

"Sodomites are wicked sinners -
worthy of death for their vile,
depraved unnatural sex practices."

And if he were right, I'd agree...

"I'm definitely of the opinion
that couples should be
husband and wife,
not two husbands or two wives."

And if he were right...

If they were right, I'd agree,
But it's THEM they know, not ME...

"I have never been confused about
my sexuality.
I have been confused about
the way I am treated because of it."

Agree...?

 

I must acknowledge those whose bigoted rants form the heart of this poem - British MPs Desmond Swayne, Ann Widdecombe and Baroness Young. Also - Rev. Fred Phelps and UK Big Brother Winner Cameron Stout.

and must also give due credit to the  words of
Cat Stevens and Lord Annan (a real life gay Lord!)
