Very deep. I am personally pro-gay, and I respect the love that any person has. But, I know who you are citing here. There are real republicans, and people who just think it's wrong. I don't believe we should say "Black lives matter" instead of "Gay lives suck, literally!" There is, truly, a deep meaning to this piece. Very well done, though I don't like the punctuation. But hey, who's talking? Great! I give you a high review.
