Remember T

The importance of T

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.

Happy Pride Month
