Don't fight for your gay.

Just read it thats all i want to say.

Don't fight for your gay



Why is being homosexual not nice?
Because bible says its a vice
Who wrote the bible?
I ask with submissive intent,
he says Shepherds,physicians and doctors,
Were those men god?
I inquire facetiously,
No, but they were inspired by lord.


those fanatics says that we have sinned,
but their beloved book says one more thing,
person with no sin may carve the first stone,
have you never commited a sin I ask?
A straight sullen face is all they got.
We have been here since ages,
So why is it taking so long to get over it,
From mughals to milk,
We were there in historys every ink.

We never demanded for extra rights,
So why does it have to be a fight?
We live in the year 2014,
it's a shame i still have to write this thing.

Author's Note

evemthough i am not homosexual,i feel a strong affinity towards the gay community...i have been wanting to write something for a while but no topic excited me to pick a pen up...so i waited....now after a few months and doing some research on the matter both online and offline i have come up with this...i have not written this to change your beliefs on this matter but start a debate for those who think this is unnatural and then decide for yourself.

Ps: this is not targetted specially against any specific religion.It is just pitted against our own our understanding of our fellow brothers and sisters.

I love it! Being gay myself I thank you for being open minded and believing in change for a community you aren't in- I respect you! I love the poem, the 3rd stanza provoked a 'f**k yeah' response from me. I loved the link to History, I thought about the countless homosexual writings from the world war poets- true greats! Thanks again for speaking out loud and sharing something you believe in, I hope this inspires others!

The message here is beautiful.

"We never demanded for extra rights,/ So why does it have to be a fight?"

Powerful words that you've penned right there, Chandler bing. How could this be such a difficult concept to grasp? Homophobia, I believe, in due time, will fade away, just as racism has over the course of history. While it's true that racism isn't fully eradicated from our society, it can be said with absolute certainty that issues with race have diminished in comparison to how they were merely decades ago.

Well voiced, truly.

I love this poem! It sends a perfect message for those who can relate

This is an awesome poem, strongly felt and articulate, with great flow and a beautiful message. The greatest flaws in "certain socio-religious systems" is that they fail to take into account the variety of healthy human nature. To be offended by what someone IS - that doesn't even make sense. And to judge the harmless private lives of anyone is to be a nosy bully. To put it simply. It seems kinder and more logical to befriend, support and encourage everyone in your community, because 'normal' is imaginary and we've all got gifts to share.

very logical and speaks reason.......but those are used to fool and not empower.......and that is gay in their own sense!
well done!!!

Being homosexual is not sin ..& the person is not sinner .. If the person dont understand, he has no right to call himself a human .. :)
I too agree with you ..#Mandi ..

I like the message behind the poem, my best friend is gay and she's incredible, beautiful and talented. I do believe in God, but I believe too many people think themselves the judge of what's right and what's wrong. It is not our place as the human race to judge another person.
There could be some editing to improve the grammar of poem, but over all I think it's good!

Poetry is freedom of expression, and those expressions do not always suit the tastes of every reader, nor shall they ever ... I have a piece that I had posted on Allpoetry for quite some time, on this very topic ... It was my most viewed poem, though it was not that good a poem ... Not sure if I shall post it here or not. This shared, I also have a Hebrew mind set supporting the Torah (Law of Moses) ... We both know what it has to share on this topic, but I agree with you that it also has the same to say to thieves, murderers, rapists, liars, etc. ... I am far too busy judging my own life to judge that of others ... Now, if all the world turned gay, would the human race soon cease to exist? Likely so, but will that ever happen, or is there any danger of that happening in inciting homophobia? No. Also, let's turn things around a bit here ... Let's say, "No Sex!" ... Let's all be celibate monks & priests ... Would not this seemingly moral and religious act also threaten the very existence of mankind, if all the world up and tomorrow decided to live this way? Yes, the same threat is relevant to overly moral religious practices as some would deem it to immoral religious practices ... My point of view is, one's private life is a private matter ... I do not need to know, nor do I wish to know, just like I do not ask my male friends if they bedded their wife or girl friend the night before ... Such things are not asked, should not be asked, and, also, should not be outwardly spoken of ... In other words, my only problem with any gay folks is those who are not confident and secure in their gayness, and insist on telling you time after time, without end, that they are gay ... Once is enough, and suffices, as it should in you or I sharing that we are straight and are happy with our mate of the opposite sex ... Good write, good point, well done ... Very brave ... I respect honesty, and I respect the courage to speak out ...

isn't it interesting that so many of these reviews start with the disclaimer "I am not gay myself"?
Or, "let's just set the record straight". Because still being considered gay in a hetero dominated
society is a social curse to be reckoned with. Sadly, you could sit on this poem and submit it
in 2044 and homophobia will still be the rule of law.

This is a great poem. Unfortunately poems (the esoteric principles that they are) do not foster
change. Only exposure and community fosters change. I read Robert Frosts letters the last few
days. It is obvious that he was both racist and misogynistic. But a little transgendered kid
on the east side of Detroit is saying this. So I still think his legacy is intact.

As a woman dating a woman, it's a daily struggle. People fear what is foreign to them, instead taking direction from an archaic text. It is sickening. This is a beautiful write.
