Yesterday's Moral View

Yesterday's Moral View

A Chapter by therisa
"

My reaction to the Premier of Alberta stalling tactics to Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs bill.

"
How many deaths
Will it take
Before you realize
More support
Is needed?

As you pussyfoot it
Around this issue
Trying to placate
Your core supporters
Of conservative voters.

Creating two classes
Of citizenship
In the province of Alberta.

One
For heterosexuals
And the other
LGBT.

Losing a generation
To the mounting pressure
Of being different.

Like it or not
The times are
Achangin'.

Leaving you
Behind.

As a relic
From the past
Out of touch
With today's needs.

Just hope
No one dies.

As you try
To balance
Your moral values
With the LGBT children
Seeking support
And understanding.
