All we, as gay people, are asking for is to be able to freely join the dance. I takes just one voice to send an invitation.




Would you like to dance?

Peaceful acceptations
Stop the madness
A hand extended with good intentions
Curled fist blocks calm expectations
Hateful looks on the sidewalk
Side glances at hands held in public
Cruel laughter shadows
Shadows hide behind themselves
Self imposed ignorance worn like a new dress
Everyone at the party dresses the same
New arrival wears something different
A costume stitched with pride
Singular presence draws every stare
Fear stares back bravely
Difference boldly takes the floor with trepidation
Wrapped in a cloak of determination
Waiting for acceptance
A resolute voice asks softly:
“Would you like to dance?”

  1. All we ask for is what everyone else, gay or straight wants, acceptance and respect, nothing more. People like Kim Evans spread hate in the name of religion.
