So what if they like the same sex,
Or even both?

Is it really in your power to judge them
For something they cannot control?

So why do you tease them,
Be so awfully rude and hating?

Is it on your mind that these things hurt,
That they are people too?

So what if they act differently,
And all you do is judge?

Does it occur to you that these people
Kill themselves because of your remarks?

Whether you are gay, straight or bi,
We are still all human,
We still all have feelings,
We will not change who we are,
So you must learn to open your mind,

And accept.

I like this. It's very straight forward ((and true)) but still poetic.

I like this a lot. The message is needed. However, it reads like a journal entry rather than poetry per say. Not a bad thing, necessarily. I would have love some concrete images to bring home your intent. Great, none-the-less! Thanks for sharing.

"So what if they like the same sex,

Less offspring. Probably China's secret weapon to control the population.

"Is it really in your power to judge them
For something they cannot control?"

You talk as if you have control over what I say, which is hypocritical.

"So why do you tease them,
Be so awfully rude and hating?"

Because they're weird.

"Is it on your mind that these things hurt,
That they are people too?"

Weird people.

"So what if they act differently,
And all you do is judge?"

Like how they judge the ones who judge them? Or do their preferences trump any other valid reason in a biased way?

"Does it occur to you that these people
Kill themselves because of your remarks?"

Not my problem. Their lives, their decisions. They're the ones who quit in life without looking for what they wanted in it. Straights kill themselves as well, but apparently the author of this journal thinks a gay person's self-ownage is more important.

"Whether you are gay, straight or bi,
We are still all human,
We still all have feelings,
We will not change who we are,
So you must learn to open your mind,"

Yeah, because change is bad for everyone.

"And accept."

I accept nothing. Nobody can make me.

Isn't this a good thing since there are so many familys that cannot find places to live due to over population

"You talk as if you have control over what I say, which is hypocritical."

You have the choice to voice your opinions, therfore you do have control over what you say. Ever heard the saying 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'

"Because they're weird."

Define 'normal'. There is no such thing as 'normal', everyone is different.

"Not my problem. Their lives, their decisions. They're the ones who quit in life without looking for what they wanted in it. Straights kill themselves as well, but apparently the author of this journal thinks a gay person's self-ownage is more important."

As you said above 'Their lives, their decisions'. If you don't care that they kill themeselves why do you care about their sexual orientation. The do look for what they want in life, love. Which, when they find it they are tormented by people who believe that who believe that their sexual orientation is wrong.

"I accept nothing. Nobody can make me."

People cannot make you, however people can give you information that may halp you to change you mind, whether or not you do is up to you.

I assume you don't give a rat's ass if you neglect a girl who got knocked up knocked your door in a rainy night and pleaded for shelter.

"You have the choice to voice your opinions, therfore you do have control over what you say. Ever heard the saying 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all'"

People have things to say to others. "Nice" isn't a valid reason not to. You could call me an idiot, which wouldn't be nice, but still had the need to do so because you think I'm one, which is optional.

"Define 'normal'. There is no such thing as 'normal', everyone is different."

Explain twins.

"As you said above 'Their lives, their decisions'. If you don't care that they kill themeselves why do you care about their sexual orientation. The do look for what they want in life, love. Which, when they find it they are tormented by people who believe that who believe that their sexual orientation is wrong."

With war and contamination, some people fear that the human race is ending.

"People cannot make you, however people can give you information that may halp you to change you mind, whether or not you do is up to you."

Change my mind? With today's media and standing for ludicrous beliefs, they might as well brainwash and lobotomize me if they want my support.
