I can not pay my taxes today
because I am gay
I am now a second class citizen
and my rights were taken away.
I can not get married to the one who knows me best.
My partner will not get to wear her dress
or me my vest
we wont receive benefits
because the state doesn’t
see our relationship as fit

Sure we can go on vacation
and live together as “roommates”
and go for a walk together as “buddies”
but legally that’s as far as it goes as stated by the law .
What the Heck is going on?
Why is our relationship seen by
so many people (who voted for change)
as sick and wrong?
I may be broken, but I wont be for long.
Some day I’ll be singing a brand new song.

I will not forget those who fought for our rights so far
I’ll march with my many “sisters” and “brothers”
and many, many others
I’ll light a candle and raise my glass
and tell all the haters to

KISS MY A**

Your friend,
Kate
