Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I didn't know today was IDAHOT, I didn't know there was one. But, that's not anything new with me, there are so many International days for something I don't know about until I read it on here!! LOL. I think the more people are put in the picture about this so called issue, the better. We are all human beings, none of us are perfect, none of us can stand and say such and such is wrong, or right. We are what we are, we are all God's creatures, so what is the problem? I believe there are certain people, regardless of gender, who are born evil, and nothing or no-one can do anything about it. The majority of people just want to live and love in peace. Well done, my friend, on a superb poem, written in you usual superb way. (no 6s left, sorry!) xsx Sandra :)

I didn't have a clue about it either. Just up in the wee hours and saw the prompt. I totally agree with every word you say. Jeesh, what a simple thing. Just accept everyone and don'e worry about it, yes? I'm so pleased you liked it. It came out pretty simple, then I thought, yeah, that's cool mikey

Hi Mikey,
This is great stuff. it's amazing how simple things can be boiled to. Take a hand - they're all the same. It is funny that today of all days comes so close to the putrid comments and "work" we have been subjected to over the last few days.
There is a really good flow to this. It just rolls along. The repetitiveness of certain words really resonate, and drives home the simplicity of the message. Why do some make it so difficult?
Excellent and best of luck

I saw this late last night or I guess the wee hours this morning. Yeah, I smiled. How perfect. So pleased you liked it. It is simple and I guess that's the best approach. I had all these complex thoughts, but it came down to this for me. Thanks so much. mikey

Perhaps I should have waited and posted my coronet of triolets today, but I didn't see this one coming. As far as I am concerned how people choose to express their love for each other is entirely up to them as long as no one gets exploited in the process.
I guess the pink bit is not part of the song.

The pink part is the the rap portion for use at church. A little exploitation's okay, as long as I tell them, "go ahead, exploit me". LOL mikey

I wish I had seen this prompt, Mikey! This is a subject close to my heart as you know.
You have shown a light into the darkness that is homophobia. Bless you for this.
Always,
Missy

Hi there, Missy
I just happened to be up at two AM. It wasn't around very long, but I managed to whip this up. I'm so pleased you liked this. I truly hope it helps. Near and dear to me as well. Thanks a million. Great to see you. mikey
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Misunderstanding and miscommunication takes bigotry one step further and hinders all reason and rational thought processes.
That being said "It is ignorance and fear..." brings it all together.
No other person knows what we are truly thinking and our actions are condemned by others for reasons most of the time because they don't know that person or group of people and yet pass judgement before knowing all the facts.
Everyone that is different than what we call 'norm' have a mind too, feelings too, and they can reason right from wrong.
Oh, dear, my soap box again

We're totally on the same page. Let everyone do what they want and then let us do what we want and we'll all be okay. I'm no fan of the norm. Not sure what the norm is, but I'm pretty sure it isn't me. LOL!!!!! mikey
