Today is your birthday
I am glad you were born
This world would not be the same without you
Today is your birthday
I am glad I knew you
Although I suffer
I suffer without you
Last night I was drunk
With love or with wine
I cannot tell
I was sitting alone
Going through hell
Last night, my empty apartment
Felt like a snare
Wherever you are
I want to be there
My words have no power
I make promises that then I break
I have written you letters
Without stopping to breathe
Last night I asked the skies
For your protection
I would have asked God
But God, like you, and the one before you
Does not answer
I wished upon a star
That all your wishes will come true
My dear friend
I do not know how to live without you

The Pride Flag and the Diversion
For nearly a decade, the LGBTQIA Pride Flag rippled in the wind at Christopher Park, a kaleidoscope of color staked into the soil of America’s first national monument to LGBTQIA+ liberation. That flag came down this week. Federal officials, citing new guidance from the Trump Administration, silently lowered the rainbow flag from its pole across the street from the Stonewall Inn. The birthplace of the modern gay rights movement now flies only the United States flag.
