Shades of Love
In colors bold and bright, we stand
Our pride unfurls like a flag in hand
We celebrate the love we've found
In a world where acceptance wasn't always around
We're more than labels, more than names
Our love is valid, it's not a game
We love who we love, we're not ashamed
And we'll stand tall, unafraid
Our rainbow shines in the sky
A symbol of hope, of love, of why
We fight for equality and rights
For a world where everyone can take flight
We've come so far, but there's still more to do
To break down barriers, to see things through
But we won't stop, we won't be silenced
Our pride will continue to be defiant
So let's celebrate our love today
In all its forms, in every way
For love is love, and it's here to stay
And our pride will shine on, come what may.

"We love who we love" are the words which stand out in this well composed poem. As a gay man I stand alongside you and endorse your words. We have still more to do! Sadly prejudice is always present but it is the possession of the ignorant. Let them be so.
Thank you for this,
Keith
