    Where
    Where

    I am an American
    I have the right to equality
    The right to freedom
    The right to bare arms
    The right to vote
    Freedom of religion
    Freedom of speech

    I am a Gay American
    Not able to love
    Someone of the same sex
    OPENLY
    As a married couple

    Or to raise children
    With love
    Because we are not
    The ideal
    Family

    I cannot care for my dying
    Partner
    Who I shared a life time with

    I can choose to be
    Gay
    Lesbian
    Transgender
    As long as it is behind
    Closed doors

    I will not tell
    If you do not ask

    That I am a Homosexual
    Denied my inalienable rights
    As an American
    Due to injustice and ignorance


    Where is my equality and freedom
    Where is my America

    Well said . I understand just how you fell. The only place. I can love my lady and not be judge for doing it is behind closed doors.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
