Adam and Steve

Is it too much to ask 
that they should be allowed to prove God’s gift of infinite variety 
in human love? 
I do not  seek that all should understand,
less forgive; 
but surely heed man’s common command,
 “live and let’s live”.
And if the greatest lovers mind divine,
further can move,
who had himself in all natures,
even theirs.
Love and let them love.

It's a long process, Olise, but things are changing in many countries. Too bad that the feelings of a relatively few people got enshrined into some religions, long ago.
