The letter T
Carries more importance than given credit for.
Many words rely on T
To convey their true meaning.
Ha*red
Elec*ion
Vo*e
Legisla*ion
Those employed on the lawmakers’ hill
Need T to pass their bills.
Though one party is perfectly fine without T,
As printed in their name.
Yet, for them, without T
They cannot
Dele*e
Obli*era*e
Or
Isola*e
Beliefs which stand against them.
They refuse to acknowledge
How T is necessary for:
beauTiful
magnificenT
auThenTic
As we enter 30 days of
Celebration supporting love being love,
Authenticity for a marginalized group is constantly scrutinized
For their desire to exist and live
Erasure is the option force-fed through the power of
Animosity.
We must remember the importance of T
Especially in lgbTq+ community.
It was T who fought along the lines of a Stone wall
For equal rights of each member to have
Acceptance,
Uniqueness,
Live life as one’s true self.
We must stand with T
To build a sTrong communiTy.
