PrideIt is not a disease.
It is not a choice.

It certainly isn't in just black and white,
No, there are many colours in a rainbow.

It is not just you.
It is not just me.

It certainly isn't abnormal,
No, there are many people like us.

It is not only painful.
It is not for attention.

It certainly isn't a game,
No, this is serious.

It's what you make it out to be.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Will it ever end? A girl turned on her computer. After a long stressful day of hard work at school and hours of homework, she was finally happy to just sit back and relax, check some social media and watch some videos on YouTube.

The monitor came on and the girl hesitated, looking at the background image she had put on only last night when it seems like such an overly good idea. She reached forward and placed her hand on the image of a woman, running her fingers down the side of the woman's face, wishing she could see the woman again, just once more, instead of just a meaningless picture.

The girl grabbed her cell phone and pulled up a picture of her cur

If God isn't even playing for us?

Who are we to think our decision is just?

What sanctity?

The only difference between gay and straight marriage is natural additions.

Call me a Liberal,

You can think that I'm gay,

But I'm a Christian in all reality.

I may be seventeen, but what I don't understand

is how people think they're more righteous if marriage is between woman and man.

I don't see you living in a "faggots" shoes.

So why are you against it?

Why do you get to choose?

You call it "unnatural,"

claim homosexuality is a disease,

but in all reality, who are you trying to please?

In school, she dressed in a crimson shirt. The way she walked screamed confidence yet her face whispered, scarred, burned, and self-conscious. Her dark blue jeans were torn and splattered with paint. Her black scarf swayed as she walked; accidentally smacking everyone she walked past. I was in love. Most wouldn't even look at her, but I couldn't help but stare. She was clumsy and silly, but she was the most intelligent person I knew. Honestly I didn't know why I loved her, until I was alone with her. She came over to my house. She wore a batman t-shirt and long blue skinny jeans.

My 'Gay' ArgumentI am a lesbian. I am attracted to women. Yes, I had parental problems, and I was molested at the age of 3 by a man. I have a lot of issues trusting any male. All of that is true. However, being turned away from men doesn't necessarily mean I have to be attracted to women. Yet I am. When going through puberty I struggled to not focus on women's chests. Like any adolescent male boy. I daydreamed about girls. I'm sorry if that makes anyone uncomfortable. And even now I turn my head if a girl's undressed in my presence, even with my best friend, whom is comfortable with me and doesn't care. I care. If it was just discomfort with men I wouldn't want women, I'd just have a hard time letting men into my life. I believe that even if I hadn't had problems growing up, I would at least be bi-sexual, because the attraction to women is there, and prominent. I'd just be willing to have men in my life as well. The molestation and "daddy issues" just turned off part of the "Bi-" sexuality of it. I gre

Gay Marriage, A Topic That Will Change The WorldGay marriage, a topic that has been highly debated and thought of as a good thing in some people's eyes, bad in other's. Marriage is a right though, that should be awarded to EVERYONE equally! Only nine of the fifty United States of America have legalized gay marriage, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Washington, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. At UCLA they estimated that if gay marriage was legalized in the state of New Jersey alone it would have a positive economic impact of 248 million over three years, creating 800 jobs and adding 19 million in government revenues. There are many Pros and

I love women. I love everything about women. The elegance, the hair,the curves, the attitude. It only makes since that I wanna be one from time to time. I mean think about it.

UnnieHair pulled back
Because it was out of her face
Always wore comfy clothes
Just in case

An angel through the eyes of others
Glistening smile brightened the day
Worries they were left behind
While she was there to stay

In our hearts we forever cherish
Her beauty held deep within
Mourning for the loss
Of what they call a sin

The torturous rope tied tight
We cannot hear her silent cry
Her tears, they fall
In a life of lies

She lay at peace
In a coffin they made
"You're in a better place now
We love you, Jade"

I'm just a speck of dust,
Midst the depth of this universe.

Who Am I?

I'm just an insignificant clog,
In the machine that shapes this block.

Who Am I?

I'm just an unheard scream,
Buried beneath this bigoted scene.

I'm just a twisted vine,
Molded to their whims and rhymes.

Who Am I?

I'm just an insignificant letter,
In this opus that binds us together.

Homecoming.The sound of wheels touching the runway,
the shrill screeches, the subtle sway.
I clutch my fingers a little tight,
I walk out the plane, feel the sun a bit more bright.

Take a step into the glass doors,
the sound of feet tapping against the floor.
Millions of people shuffling all around,
I grab my luggage and stumble right out.

I stand a little on my toes,
My eyes blown wide, My specs sliding down my nose.
I finally see the sight I need,
My smile so wide, I can't breathe.

A short man of age fifty three,
Hurries towards me like cavalry.
His face split into a warm grin,
His body frame gone slightly thin.

He stands millimeters i

Utopia For You.Hither around mortals, gather near...
A secret since ages you're about to hear!
Have you ever wondered when your thoughts are astray,
The technique to create a paradisiac day?

Find yourself a spot of pure solace,
Take a vessel sized to match your reveries,
Throw in all your blood and sweat to boil,
You'd feel the lava roar from beneath the soil!

Is it a spoonful of gold that'll multiply for you to claim?
Or enough sugar to make Aphrodite appear herself to satisfy your thirst?
Stir the liquid inside twice if you want the world to celebrate your fame!
Add a scoop of cold ice to put an end to your unending curse.

Add a few prayers to

Castigation.Don't you know beauty is what you want to see?
You can make me feel pretty or what you want it to be
Why do you choose to keep me away?
Push me down, and say the things you say?

Don't you think that I have dreams?
That I have ambitions?
That I want it all?
So why push me into dark realms?
Why these restrictions?
Why make me fall?

It's all in your messed up brain!
You talk about me like I'm some game,
How I'm dirty and different and you know it all.

I also want to make my parents proud,
Get married and live in a house far out.
Fall in and out of love a million times,
Before finding the one I can call my life.

Don't you think that

The Warmth of Steel.I paced to and fro,
From one end to another ...
With my comfort , both mental and physical,
Clutched tightly in my hands.

I knew this was wrong,
But would anyone think of me?
I won't really know...
Once I've bid farewell to all these problems,
These lies , this pain.
I'm sure I'll be okay...
Better than I've ever been...
I'd free myself from all the pressure and hurt.

I'll find my paradise in the burning pits of hell...
I'll die alone not taking anything along,
Just leave a lot,
Doing this I feel a joy of some sort.

Now i realize,
It isn't really wrong,
I'm doing this for me,
For all who have stood me for so long.

I wished

Prejudice is just Ignorance.

Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Free Verse

You're calling me a dirty slut,
Falling for everyone I see!

Well, sorry to annoy your meddling butt,
Is that actually what you believe?

Take a breath and think this over,
Why would I choose a life of hate?

If you'd just put down your drink for once and be sober,
You'd know it isn't up to a person to decide their fate!

I'm just counting to the moment when you'd grow up,
And realize that your judgment doesn't make or break me.

If it's too bitter to taste, the coffee in my cup,
Well, I suggest you get a life and let me be.

This was sort of my first attempt to deal with my sexuality, I guess. I hear all sorts of things about how bisexuality doesn't exist and bi sexual people are just confused, misguided people. I've given myself way too much time to figure it out and I just have to say, Fuck Them. Anyone who says that you're just bi cause you want attention or are too scared to commit to someone etc are just idiots. No one chooses their sexuality, not straight, not gay... no one. And as far as I remember, a person was never given the right to judge or govern how someone should love.
This is not a great piece of work, I admit. But, I just had to put this out there, for anyone who'd listen.

If i have to label myself which I hate doing I would be considered bisexual though I'm more attracted to women.
I find it rather disturbing that people are saying you either have to be gay or straight...
It is true that we do not choose our sexuality, I wish I could have, the truth is I don't want to be gay or look at women in a sexual way, but hey my mind does that and it's not something I can just stop doing..
However with that I do believe for me as a person I define who I am, not my sexuality. And a much as it confuses people ( both religious and not) I have chosen for myself not to mingle with the same sex and even though I am more attracted to girls I want to be with a guy for reasons more than just sexual appetite.
this is why I label myself bisexual...
I think people just need to leave homosexuals alone, they aren't evil people.
What's more appalling to me is that religious people forget their own advice. We are all children of god and god said "as I have loved you love one another." that's pretty self explanatory. Lol.

~noxiousmyth Mar 20, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Labels are stupid. We fall in love with a person, not a gender. Love is too pure an emotion to be thrown around, you know?
Oh you got that right! Some religious preachers are just filled with bullshit. Not all, some fortunate one's actually understand that God is about acceptance, not prejudice.

I wish you could be more comfortable with your sexuality though. And anyway, who you fall in love with is not really an option, it'll just happen, won't it?

: )

~Macadamiannutjob Mar 20, 2013

I grew up in a religious home and I would be lying if those things didn't mold me a little bit.

Thanks..
Yes I know that all too well x.x love can be so selfish and down right smack you in the face lol

~noxiousmyth Mar 20, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

No I completely understand how hard it is when the people closest to you are against everything you stand for.

Haha, yes!

In a way, I can see what you mean with this poem. I used to deeply care about what people thought about me. But then I realized, it's just so not worth it. Once I realized that, it was like I was free. I hope you too can feel this way.

Also, people need to understand that there ARE homosexuals out there. Hell, I am one. I have homo and straight friends. And they need to understand that a lot of us are actually really normal people, but unfortunately, it's the minority that get the most attention that give the LGBT community a bad name.

~noxiousmyth Feb 21, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

I think what really hurts me is when people close to me don't understand homosexuality. I don't really care about any random person's views. But, yes I think it's high time the world starts prioritizing. There's much worse happening in this world than two people of the same sex falling in love.

~AutumnalFox Feb 21, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

There's really not much to understand: girl loves girl, boy loves boy, how could it be simpler?

And true, people need to get their shit together and realize that homosexuals aren't the sole cause of bad things happening in the world.

~noxiousmyth Feb 21, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Apparently this world just needs something to hate. That's all. I think a valid reason is the last thing on their minds.

~Daniel-Gleebits Nov 25, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

There's genuine benign ignorance sometimes, but even that can be annoying. I think the presumption that bisexual people are misguided or in some way greedy stems from the prepossessing notion that we are naturally polyamorous, which is in fact wrong in most cases. Not to say that there aren't bisexuals who are comfortable with multiple relationships, and if that works and doesn't hurt anyone, then fine, but the stereotype that we are, in a word "whores" stems in the main from the presumption of two or more partners from the get-go, and also the large quantity of people who merely claim to be bisexual in order to appear more exotic and approachable.

Now I have nothing to say about any individual person who does this, I don't know who they are or why they're doing it, but as a whole I think it's a reprehensible, shallow, selfish manner of conducting oneself that knowingly disregards the lives of real bisexuals whose reputations they are actively staining. It's a sad day when I'm told that I'm a greedy whore, and for evidence the accuser points to some guy or girl who actually is acting like a whore, and so happens to have a "I'm a bisexual" sticker on their bag or hat.

~noxiousmyth Nov 25, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

You know what is the most annoying thing? Judging millions, because of a bloody preconceived notion that people just make up. It's easier to hate isn't it? I wonder if all those who get out on the street pelting stones and bellowing slurs, even know why they're doing it.

Stereotyping is a fad though now. Minorities are forever going to the victims. And of course, there are always those who're using bisexuality or 'sexual crisis' as an excuse to whore their way through guys and girls and ultimately we're all supposed to face the shit for their behavior.
