Don't Hate!

Don't hate me
'cause I'm different
'cause I don't conform
to the gender norm.

Don't hate me
'cause I'm "gay"
Actually, I'm not
what you may have thought.
I'm bisexual, in fact,
and can go either way
but I think lesbians are hot!
So now, how will you react?

Don't hate me
'cause I'm beautiful
To be quite truthful,
I'm just being dutiful
when I wear makeup on my face
or walk with feminine grace.
I'm proud of who I am,
and really don't give a damn!

Don't hate me
'cause I speak my mind
or 'cause I try to educate.
Congratulate and celebrate.
Quit hating and berating,
constantly downgrading!
Why not instead participate?

Don't hate,
it's ugly and it stinks.
Be positive and productive,
try to be constructive
or even seductive.
Hat is destructive.

So please, pretty please,
be at ease.
Please, please, please...
don't hate!
