Letter To Governor
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."
