A Start

By: Winluck Wong

Someone on T.V. told me that, “Gays are not allowed.”
They spoke of sin and hellfire, of the unnatural desire
Between the Adams and Steves and the Ellens and Eves.
They see it all so clearly because they alone have intimate knowledge
Of the holy thoughts behind God’s brow.
They warned me the “gay mental illness” must cease
And that unless I protect myself, I too could get infected.
I’m to demonstrate and legislate gay hate before it’s too late.
The end is near because the gays are coming out with an agenda,
A throbbing, homoerotica propaganda machine designed to sodomise all the right beliefs.

Ah yes, the right beliefs.

I don’t claim absolute intuition on the lines drawn by the divine.
But I do believe it is absolutely natural for two people to fall in love;
For Adam to be with Steve and Ellen to be seen with Eve;
For any couple to never need to seek legitimacy from society on how they live their lives.
I believe love is not an illness (unless we mean the proverbial affliction of the heart)
And that it is the infection from fear peddlers’ lies I should protect myself against.
I believe hate has no place in legislation and that it is too late the moment we let it remain.
And I do believe the end is near – the end of the irrational rationing of acceptable love
Because we can stand here having this conversation today
And that is a start.
