Desires Unattained

We all are supposed to be created equal; politicsreligion and society have all found ways to catergorize people for their own individuality.In South Louisianathe culture has been built upon strong beliefs embedded with corruption passed down from generation to generation in hopes to carry out the legacy of their sacred heritage.The lifestyle I lead has yet to be accepted by many and perhaps never willbut being a lesbian is only a small fraction of the woman.Categorizing is huuman nature;it allows us to stay in the life we knowour comfort zone.So much of society is closed-minded from wanting to understand why someone may be different from them and being different can be viewed as a threatnot fit for human survival. Love's Natural Sin defines a view for most society and what they believe gay relationships to.Essence of a Controversial Lifestyle is everything that I believe and wrote abotu in these pages.That any orientation can read about to try and understandeven though gay we are human and people just like you.We all go through hardshipswe too can love unconditionally desire a partner to build a family with and want to live a life of happinessnot be afraid of when the next gay bashing will happen.Now some view me as unworthy of loveconfuseda sinner and someone who betrayed God.I among so many others are very much worthy of loveare very sure of the people we are and grew up to be.Everyone sins so what makes being gay so different and if I have betrayed God then I would not know how to love the way that I do.My name is Kristie Michelle Carpenter and this is my life through poetry as a young gay woman.
