For 25 years a man lived with his love. In sickness and health, in poverty and riches. Then crippling ill-health struck, and his parents came. They banished the lover from his life- for a child they now claimed their son to be.

For two years the lover fought, till he won- visiting rights but not custody. Quoth the mum, I would rather my son remain sick for good, than he have his lover back. Because he is a homosexual. Check out the comments page too.

The blindness of prejudice-

the willful deception of hate;

Beware!

Loveless virtue here resides-

in strongly forted forts,

minds unyielding steel,

ugly grey granite walls.

Unbending, unknowable, barren,

not a flower, not a bloom to ever know,

Beware of loveless virtue
