Dear governor 

I want to marry a girl.

I'm not quite sure of what type of girl 

But I know that's what I want.

I know you have accommodations for people like me

but who the hell pulls out a ring, gets on one knee and says 

"Will you civil union me?" 

 

I remember when i told my mother 

one of the first things she asked was

"does this mean you wanna wear boy clothes now?" 

I remember telling my father and he went silent 

because the girl i love and I don't "look" like a lesbian relationship

No where in the definition of lesbian does it state "acts like boy" 

No where in the definition of lesbian relationship does is state that one partner is the "male"

There is no male.

That's kinda the point. 

 

There equality between us because 

Identity and gender and sexuality are not cut dry like Perforated kitchen towels 

They are not black and white because the sky is light blue and sometimes pink and orange and gray and purple

Nature doesn't give a care because she knows change and Diversity are beautiful and the first Caterpillar to have turned into a butterfly must have been like "holy s*** guys!"

 

This is hard for me but my mom taught me to use my voice when even it shakes

And I know words hold no volumes 

Unless spoken with conviction

So please hear The L G B T Roaring through my vocal chords Aching to be accepted into the norm 

and listen Close to the Q because those cuties know Life is best lived with a bit of skepticism 

And the P and the A and what ever letter wants joins this party

a party of second class citizens who are really tired of backward equality 

and if it's unnatural don't take Medicine when you're sick or drive to work 

and if you don't agree that's lovely 

but I find the world works better when other people are allowed to have donuts tho I'm on a diet 

and if I am ill I'm going to start calling in queer to school 

"Hello, this is G. How's fatmata doing ms. kamara?" 

"oh still gay. She cant stop thinking about boobs again." 

 

I dont know everything but I do know i love my girlfriend

love speaks louder then volumes we can Comprehend 

And maybe humans are the only Creatures that have an issue with homosexuality because we have such s---ty hearing

 

so we beg you 

please vote yes

because your yes will echo into more love in this cold world

because your yes will be the intro to the song we'll sing to the children 

because your yes will turn into my "i do."
