Right now, all around this country, there are people trying to pass legislation that polices the right of transgender and gender non-conforming folks to use public restrooms…
The fact that these bullies have made it a priority for our country to invest public attention and resources into an issue that doesn't even exist is mind-numbing
and the fact that people buy into this garbage is exhausting.
The anti-lgbt proponents of these bills
are notorious "religious freedom" groups
who apparently,
after all the years of soul searching
in the pews of their beloved churches,
have concluded that this is in fact
what Jesus would do.
and when they say things like
"I don't want my child in a restroom with one of them"
or
"perverts are going to use this as an excuse to attack our children!"
really, what they ought to be saying is
"I'm afraid of things I don't understand"
&
"I watch too much television"
my head is going crazy
with all the restroom restlessness
because I know that there are kids out there
struggling to come to terms
with who they are
and they are watching our country debate on whether or not
they should be allowed to use the restroom
and they are being mercilessly reduced to their bodies
in this humiliating discussion,
which is truly an ugly distraction
from the very real injustices
that we need to discus
I have an idea to put this to rest;
lets build another bathroom
for all the dogmatic assholes
that are so afraid of people
that look different from them
so that they can take a piss
safe from their imaginary problems,
protecting nobody from nothing
but the reality of diversity that exists
in the spectrum of human existence
while the rest of us continue to do what we can
to dismantle the mechanisms of ignorance and hate
Hell is not a place you go when you die
It is a life lived in fear,
knowing that at the end of your time
you wasted your life
living a lie
because some asshole
condemned your soul
and body
in the name
of Christ
Chill,
Jesus loves me.
quit using
misinterpretations
of scripture
to further
your agendas
of hate and division
Hell is not a place you go when you die
It is a life lived in fear
so don't be afraid
just be you
live your truth
embrace your story
and please
for God's sake,
for humanity's sake,
make a happy ending.
