In this Poem, Denice Froham is talking to all the straight people in her life and I guess the ones that will ever meet her. She is asking them why she makes them uncomfortable when she walks in a room holding her girlfriends hand. She is wondering why she gets strange looks when ever she does anything. Denice is trying to say for straight people and everyone for that matter to treat everyone fairly and judge people by whats on the inside.
For me personally, I can not relate to what she is saying as I am straight; however, I do see where Denice is coming from. I imagine it would feel pretty bad to always be stared at and judged for just being who you are, and I can only give her respect for writing about something she believed in. – Gabriel Gil, Period 3
