THEIR UNSPOKEN SIN
There was a girl -- a pretty girl
With short, curly hair
And a sparkling smile
Big dark eyes and brown skin
She was special
She was Stella's friend
One lonely night
Stella wrote Her a letter
It simply said -- I love you
Stella not knowing better
The next day
Slipped it in Her notebook
After the last bell
She smiled and gave Stella a knowing look
It warmed Stella's heart and eased her ache
Too soon to give it a voice
They didn't speak
That was a regrettable choice
For that night
She swallowed too many pills
Haunted
Stella often wakes with sweaty chills.
In her notebook
Stella found Her letter
It simply said -- I love you too.
They all thought they understood
When Stella screamed Her name and ran.
Everyone questioned why She had to die
The reason -- only Stella knew
She couldn't live with
Their unspoken sin
With three SMALL words
Stella lost her friend.

The Agenda-Civil Rights
Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of
LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --
