We are not alone.
We are not what we have lost.
We are more than the sum of our scars.
We are more than the sum of our scars.
We are the dust of the stars,
the bones of the Earth,
the breath of the void,
the expanse of our imaginations,
the arc of art, the love in our hearts.
We lift each other up.
every time we choose to be.
Our Circle is battered and bloody
but still, whole.
None above, none below
Our one human family
Equal under the listening sky.
I believe what Alice Walker wrote:
“We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
Every child deserves to be loved and protected.
Our families with LGBTQIA+
parents are just as precious.
No one should be forced into the sacred role
of parenthood against their will.
Human Rights are worth fighting for.
Human Rights are worth fighting for.
We’ve come a long way,
but we must go farther still.
