He. She. Him. Her.

"Fucking faggots"
They'd heard it before. . .Didn't bother him. Ignorance is bliss, they say, but he couldn't help thinking in this case it was ignorance which made people angry, unhappy, rude, fearful. Never mind. He had her hand in his and that was bliss.

Her hand was as soft as his calloused.
His face as masculine as hers was feminine.
Her body small and lithe while his was tall, muscular.
She danced and was happy and made him forget to brood.
He thought long and deeply, she acted upon impulse from her heart.
She loved and inspired others to do the same.
She created families and kept them together.

She turned and smiled and he knew. Never mind the accessories, she was the female to his male.
Ignorance be damned.
