“Two of the same” "Why can we not love who we want to? The thought of having to come out makes our bones tremble and leaves our stomachs in an appetite less pit. They say that love is beautiful. But tense at the love of two of the same. Where is it written that you cannot love someone despite their gender? Love is beautiful, love is kind, and love shouldn’t be trapped in a box. The “I do’s” of man and woman never needed a law to allow it to happen. The secrecy behind “gender” appropriate clothing just so Karen’s don’t bash you down. Yet love is beautiful, and love is kind. And it is most certainly trapped in a box. Where is the open world of the ever so loved romance in heartstopper? They’ll share, “Happy Pride Month! Love is Love!” But bully those that are openly passionate about love of two of the same. Love is most certainly love, It comes from our beautiful beating heart. The heart does not depict which gender it chooses to love. It picks based on personality, and that strong warm feeling of comfort. The gender you love, does not define your worth. It also does not make it mean any less, even when fighting for the marriage of two of the same." Chelsea James (She/Her)
