I live in hope (in memory of Martin Luther King Jr.)
I live in hope that one day
All individuals will be valued
for their intrinsic worth,
knowledge, lifes efforts, experiences,
creativity and decency
And not be judged and devalued
by preconceived ideas of gender,
Appearance or diasabilities,
I live in hope that one day
All of us as people, whether
Gay, straight, transgendered,
bisexual or intersexed,
Abled or disabled,
All as equals
can be proud of who we are
and of each other
Respectful of our differences
and abilities.
