GAY LIKE ME

Well said and powerful! You did awesome work together. Love C xoxo

Excellent collaboration between two great minds and feeling heaets. I hope in our lifetime to see us being treated equally as people. The slow acceptance is making a difference although some cultures will never accept all people.

As usual, I am touched by your words and beautiful heart. Xoxo

ONLY IGNORANT SCUM HAVE AN ISSUE WITH PEOPLES’ SEXUAL ORIENTATION!! WELL WRITTEN!! BRAVO!!

Wonderful honest creativity from the soul, cheers to both of you.

I love this, it is so honest and YOU. To tell us all about who you are and what it means to you to be you, so many feel they must preach about who they are, they must drill it into the readers head over and over again until the reader starts to feel atacked rather than enjoy the read. One does not have to share the same life to enjoy another’s life. Art gives us this power and you have done it well! Keep being U!

powerful stuff and it aint easy, even for very well adjusted- good to see new stuff on rb

An Honest Powerful Amazing Piece…there will always be the narrow-minded little people
who do not see beauty in other’s hearts no matter what their race ..sex…or sexual orientation
is!!!! A DEF FAV for me!!!! xoxooxxooxox

i really like what you did with the last two lines, G rowing A nd Y earning added a movement toward the end that makes it seem like your words continue flowing even after the last line, which sums it all up brilliant! xo

hey dude be you dogg ,i know what being left out is like and even though i prefer women , i feel dat type pain

each generation the struggle becomes easier in the “gay” world…... it saddens me sometimes that today’s gay culture holds little memory or respect of all those that fought so hard to be accepted in years past…. ask someone today about stonewall….... it will suprise you the history that has been lost…....... ANYWAYS…. thank you for this wonderful one man perspective on being gay and how it helps define your vision of the world and others in it….... we need more honest soulful writing such as this….. i applaud you…........b

It will be wonderful if the day comes when people are judged on the type of person they are, rather than on race, religion or sexual orientation. There is a benifit to your struggle for acceptance in the world, that you will be a person of substance, a person of real compassion and understanding that others can turn to and call you brother.

Well done, you two write some powerful words , hope to read more!

I find it sad and perplexing how society likes to do the labeling thing….. Like I don’t have people coming up and saying ’ Oh your a woman’ Or ’ Look she’s a woman’ ....What we are is people with desires for happiness and most of us willing to share the ‘goodness’ of our selves. I think you have shared you goodness in a very eloquent piece of writing. XX

wonderfully written….. you are the person you are and if people can not identify and see the person inside then they are just narrow minded and ignorant….. this is a beautiful strong piece of writing, the first piece of your work I’ve read of many I’m sure…. thank you for sharing this xx

just know that I am G rowing A nd Y earning,
and I am only being me...and it’s nice meeting you. :)

OMG…People really like our poem..This is very pleasing to me!!

THANK YOU USHNA….WE ARE BOTH VERY HONORED BY THIS!!!!

congrats on the feature, this poem really deserves it, great gritty writing
also every one has the right to label themselves with the words
that fit them.. a really brave and enlightening poem!

Your words are powerful and honest. I do agree that there is still a long way to go for many people to understand just how hurtful they can be with off handed comments and thoughts of how something is when they really don’t have any idea.
Much of it is peer pressure. The younger generations most of all will just follow what their friends are saying with out thought. I try to do my part, by not engaging in conversation that is negative and disrespectful of anyone’s sexual orientation. I just tell people that we need to agree to disagree…..often it brings up conversation where we can safely discuss why I feel that it is so destructive to judge anyone. That kind of conversation is very enlightening for some people…..helping them to understand that they need to think a lot more before they speak and most importantly before they judge…...but we are all guilty of judgement. I can tell you this ….I am guilty. But I am aware and that is the very first step…..being aware and stopping your self before you hold onto judgement.
I always remember a line from a song by Jewel, “in the end only kindness matters.”
Great writing!! Keep up the good work.

stunning my friend powerful and profound… too beautiful for words hugs xx

People have to learn to love themselves and respect their lives, not to judge other’s. If God wanted them to go around passing judgement on people, they’d be at the right hand. No body is a saint and everyone has a fault. No sin is greater than the other, lying is as bad as killing. Stealing is as bad as rape, in the eyes of God no sin is worse than the other. To myself, sexuality is nothing to be prosecuted for especially because I have a gay brother back home. We make our own lives, and thats what we have to do to make things work. We do what we have to to make ourselves feel good, the approval of others is purely artificial. This is a lovely work and I really see a lot of things through it. Thanks for writing this.

Fantastic! I understand you very well here…I was fired for it!

Ghandi said to “become the change that you want to see in the world” and I pride you for what you are doing!!
