Yes I'm GAY...

                                            .........SO WHAT!!!

Sometimes you just want that one support system..

All I want is respect for who I am.

I don't need permission for who I love.

Or judgement

or stones thrown against my already weak body

I'm fighting and the battle is...hard

But it's not over

I'm determined to win

and to rejoice

I have no white flag

I have a rainbow one though

which I wear proudly.

And it's wet with spit 

but I still wave it HIGH

and if you don't understand me

I know millions who will...

and I will not run and hide

this gay self

this gay me

is loud and proud

and dare to dream

about life 

and I live

and I hurt and I cry

but I rise

whens words are thrown

and I dodge the bullets as they slam against the wall beside me

I write my name above the holes with my gay hands

My name is Britney

and I am what I am

and you are who you are
