No one deserves to be hated
No one deserves to live in fear
No one deserves to die
For who they are

No one deserves to be judged
No one deserves to lie
No one deserves to hide
Because of who they are

Everyone deserves to be free
Everyone deserves to love and to be loved
Everyone deserves to be who they want to be
No matter who they are

Everyone deserves a choice
Everyone deserves to be able to be themselves
Everyone deserves acceptance
No matter who they are

No matter who you are
No matter whom you love
Everyone deserves these things
But can everyone do these things,
Can everyone have these things?
No, not yet
So let's stand up and fight
Fight for these things everyone deserves
Only with action
Can we finally be free
What more is there to say?

Society does not get to have a say in how we define ourselves. 

There needs to be some sort of mandate that will completely depoliticize the "issues" of gender and sexual nonconformists marrying and staring families and abortion.

I've always wanted to ask a bigot what if there were different people or cultures who considered their "lifestyles" or traditions just as alternative and harmful as they deem theirs, and would they still be cool with them telling them or legislating what they can and cannot do with their bodies. I also want to ask if they are even aware that there are people who do not believe in the divine or things like gender and that each person's bodies and brains are wired in their own individual way. If they are indeed aware but still choose to deny those people who have the ability to think, learn, and act on their own accord the ability to live the way they want, they need to be reeducated as soon as possible.

I am sick to death of everyone enabling that sort of idiotic behavior. I fail to see how being yourself, a perfectly knowledgeable and intelligent individual, calls for any sort of “dissent,” especially if you have a different set of built-in instincts. Then again, I once said that if one side is bent on keeping another down, then that side does not deserve to be themselves. Pointless does not even begin to describe this "debate" that I fail to understand how it even started, nor does shameful begin to describe the effort they have all put into not letting other people be who they are. It is beyond pitiful that they insist that they have to have a say in how others live and that they must be up for majority vote.

It's absolutely cruel that LGBT's aren't allowed to live the lives that they individually choose for themselves. A lot conservatives pathetically don't want to accommodate them even though LGBT's have the ability to perfectly accommodate themselves. It's disgustingly stupid that this was ever considered "matter of opinion and belief" when it is a long proven fact since the beginning of time that anybody can raise a family, work, and serve in the military if they have the ability and are willing to put the time, money, and dedication into their job.

But hey, I guess that's democracy for ya.
