Words like courage and authenticity and equality and respect and inclusion and love and justice and gay pride - are beautiful - and celebrate our humanity.

I am sure it will be wonderfully celebrated this year now that gay couples are now able to marry in Australia. Kudos to Australia for this, at the time when the US (due to the Presidency) seems to take away rights again from the GLBT community - though the right to marry still exists. I will seek out more work from this poet whose life was way too short.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-689244998025454882018-03-02T14:43:55.164-05:002018-03-02T14:43:55.164-05:00Another wonderful poem and poet...I enjoyed learni...Another wonderful poem and poet...I enjoyed learning more about Dorothy Porter...thank you Rosemary!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-91970165209397594762018-03-02T14:34:01.460-05:002018-03-02T14:34:01.460-05:00I loved the poem and the poet.

Thanks so much for this. Her poem made me feel happy. I remember looking at the face of a sleeping loved one, and feeling those bubbles.
