I am gay
My article and justice must be a finality.
Understand this:
we are personal
We are brave, strong, courageous, and many.

Twenty years ago I quoted,
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Martin Luther King Jr.

I held my dance of the Nations
In the formation of
The dance that represented we follow those
Who are succeded by those who come after us.

It was that special movement
I used as
Gay pride.

With compassion and wisdom,
Nurturing, love and liberations,
To impress the crowd,
A relay race.

We recieved a torch and we pass it on to
People worthy of the legacy who
Dare to be queer among
Homphilia.

See the light of liberationists illuminating the
Dark corners of centuries.

The torch is a beacon of hope.

However held back by the lies of institutionalized loathing,
This liberty torch
Passed from one to another.

Drag human dignity,
Courage, and
Community to the humanitarians who were
Willing to put their lives on their line and
Raise community consciousness and unity.

It is easy to live in a vaccuum.
But today we must shine in the heaven of options undeard
Although surrounded by darkness
And empty prejudice.

We who struggle remain truly free
And continue each generation.

We run swiftly and
Remember to dance.
