Free
I was at a wedding when my life took a turn for the worst. I realized something as I watched the blushing bride and the handsome groom walk down the church's aisle. I realized that I would probably never live to see myself do this. Something as simple as walking down the aisle, saying "I do" to my husband, and slipping a ring on his finger, I would not have the freedom of doing. Just because I'm homosexual, I can't have the same rights. Maybe someday I can come to terms with that but right now, I just can't.
Over the years there have been things people try to change things because those things aren't right. Women and African Americans were pushed around too many times before they realized what people were doing to them wasn't right. When is it going to be our turn? We have a few people in the government trying to "win" us rights, but they shouldn't have to "win" us rights! We should have them automatically! The rainbow flag is flown high in the sky, telling all of the homophobic people that we are still here, still fighting.
I shouldn't have to be shunned away from churches and be told that God doesn't love me and that I should burn in Hell. I'm not a sin! I am a human being! I should be able to find my missing puzzle piece and see my parents standing proudly, watching my wedding ceremony, just like everyone else. I can't even walk down the street holding hands with someone without getting racial slurs screamed at me and getting pushed around. I guess I can wait, but I just can't wait for it to be our turn to be free of the hate.
Standing here in this church, I realized that my life will never be truly free and acceptance will rarely be an option.
