[Jenna Rose]: 150.Contest Entries.Ess - May 07

NOTE: If you're offended by or just don't like homosexuality/gay marriage, don't read any farther.
I'd like to state that this poem contains MY opinion and feelings. If it differs from yours, that's fine. If you don't like it, don't read and comment. I really don't want to hear "bashing" of this writing, homosexuals, gay marriage, and the like. Again, this is MY opinion. Don't be a rude a**hole about this writing - even if you don't agree!

Love Has No Gender

I see men and women everywhere -
In love, together, without a care.

Walking on beaches, holding hands;
In churches, exchanging wedding bands.

But rarely do you see together, a man and a man,
Kissing on park benches where their love first began.

Or two women in love, who openly show it;
Not caring, letting anyone know it.

For a woman and a woman, a man and a man,
Weddings in churches? In many places, it’s banned!

For those who do marry, have children, and together grow old;
I want you to know, to me your courage is worth more than gold.

Deep down in my heart, in all honesty,
These things are beautiful to me...

These things that I rarely see and wish I could see more of.
Gender? It doesn’t matter - what matters is love.
