Homosexuality Poem by Aparna Chatterjee

This is the
Age of
Open
Homosexuality.

It's slowly
Losing its
Promiscuity.

It's becoming
As prevalent
As heterosexuality.

I don't know
What the fuss
Is all about…

As long as
The person
Is old enough
To understand
His sexuality...
Doesn't harm
Anybody…
Enjoys safe
Sex -
Who are we
To dictate
That he should
Practise
Only
Heterosexuality?

It's his choice.
Let him experiment.
Let's respect his
Wishes…
Let's accept him
As one of us.

He's a human being
With sexual needs
Just as all of us…

So what
If he's
Gay or bisexual?
It's his life.
Let him live it.
