A Letter to you my LGBTQ+ Friend

 

My dear LGBTQ+ friend,

I see you my friend.

I see how you hide who you are.

I see how you get a little tense and very quiet when the LGBTQ+ conversation starts and our brothers and sisters in our ‘Fake Krishen nation’ unknowingly express their very deep more often than not negative sentiments about who you are.

I see how you steal glances of people from the gender that you are attracted to.

I see how you brush off conversations about when you are going to find someone and settle down.

I see how your spirit lights up when you are nations where you can let out a bit more of yourself.

I see you my friend

I see you and it breaks my heart that you cannot live your truth.

It breaks my heart that you have to listen to so much hate ever so often.

It breaks my heart that you carry such a huge secret.

I wish for you the world that Martin Luther King dreamt of, where we are judged only by the content of our character and nothing else. Because yours is a character of gold and appreciate that I have had a friend like you in this lifetime.

I see you my friend…
