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
