Fuck you and your closet cause I've been out for years
Put down that damn rainbow flag, I'll fight my own way.
No I am not ashamed and no I am not proud
Both of you learn to deal
I'm here, I'm queer, I'm average...so go to hell.
Author notes
I get really tired of people telling me I should hide the fact that I'm gay, that I should be ashamed of it. I also get really tired of hearing that I am not enough of an activist, that I really am ashamed. I'm not one extreme or the other in attitude or mannerisms and it pisses people off.

Perfect
I know exactly what you mean. I was never really an activist, but I'm not going to hide it either. Great job.

I love it
I hate people telling me to hide myself, and to fight fire with peace. I'll take the way I fight this homophobic society my oun way. Very inspiring, and well penned
