I am the straight girl
who holds her friend's hand
when we walk through the mall
and kisses her goodbye
on the lips
in front of the crowd at the bus stop.
I am the straight girl
who does not care
if the world thinks I am a lesbian
because I am the girl
who grew up knowing
that "lesbian" was an okay thing to be.
I am the straight girl
who spends hours on the phone
with her gay friends
discussing cute boys.
I am the straight girl
who will fight for gay rights
with any weapon at hand:
my mouth
my pen
my keyboard
my t-shirt
my steel-toed combat boots.
I am the girl
who will kick ass in the name of love
because there is NOTHING I believe in more.
