Hate The Sin, Love The Sinner
"I don't hate the people who are a part of it just because I don't celebrate or affirm it."
Do I hate you?
No, I don't hate you, why would you think that?
But I think that the way your brain is wired is wrong
Unnatural
Abominable
Sinful
I don't hate you, but I think you don't deserve to be in love
In fact, what you feel isn't love
It’s sodomy
Disgusting
Gross
I think you should read this book that says you should be stoned
Electrocuted
Denied medical treatment
Bullied
Beaten
Drugged
Disowned
And disinherited from the kingdom of God
By a God that didn't love you enough to wire you right
I don't hate you
I just hate who you are

"The Paradox of Pride: Seeking Acceptance Without Celebration"
I've been openly gay since birth, yet I've never attended a pride parade. I think the only reason I'd go is to meet attractive people, but from what I've seen online, Pride isn't where they go. During Pride month, there's a push to take pride in something you didn't choose. Being told to be proud of being gay feels like being told to be proud of having brown hair or two hands. These aren't things I chose; I just happened to be born this way.

I came across a post on my Pinterest that said what I put in the subtitle of this article and it pissed me off. This is my first attempt at a satirical poem that is meant to mock the hypocrisy of those who mask their hate towards queer love with God's love.
