Sex Repeal …… [same-Sex Marriage; Human 'Rights'; Short Enough; Serious] Poem by Bri Edwards
Sex Repeal …… [same-Sex Marriage; Human 'Rights'; Short Enough; Serious]
Disputes have arisen around sex differences,
I'd say for ages,
over various issues like women's suffrage,
and unequal wages,
over who gets to smoke, own property, drive cars,
or 'get' a divorce.
Also there are some people (quite a lot)
who've felt cheated …….
due their LGBT identities ….. by others in
this world and in this nation.
And now, in the U.S., there's all the
uproar over 'Same-sex Marriage'.
Some against it may fear there'll be no
more use for a baby carriage.
Most 'Red States' are against it, while
most 'Blue States' are 'for'.
It seems to me that having just ‘one sex'/[no gender]
would be less of a chore …..
than having such arguments and choices to make;
I blame 'The Creation'!
So let's all get together on this my friends;
tell me what You FEEL.
Would it be better if 'sex'-designations
we could repeal?

BLUE VS. RED STATES:
i live in a 'Blue State' in the u.s. here 'Red States' is sometimes used to designate which of our 50 states has voters who primarily vote for candidates from the Republican Party. 'Blue States' tend to vote for Democrats, and are mostly found in the northeast, (northern) mid-west, and the west coast; included are 'my' state, California, and 'my' former state, New York. our current president, Barack Obama, is a Democrat, as was John F. Kennedy and 'Bill' Clinton. both presidents 'Bush' and Richard 'Tricky Dick' Nixon are/were Republicans.
LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender. you can look those 'gender/sexual 'preference' terms up yourself.
i found it interesting, though not particularly surprising, to find maps online showing that the states which allow or lean towards allowing same-sex marriages are, FOR THE MOST PART, the same states that are considered 'Blue States' for voting purposes.

RE: The three comments below: If you don't have a sense of humor about SEX - you're unlikely to have one about ANYTHING - and you're reading the wrong poet! Three cheers for SEX, BRI, and ICE CREAM! (not necessarily in that order)
