LYRICS:
Its not just the church
Who shame our love.
Its not just the church
Who shame our love.
Its the people we love
Who shame this love
Its the people we need
Who betray our love.
How many atrocities
Must we face
Before we change the laws
That allow them to take place
A man found a gun -
A man fired a gun -
A man tried to kill
His truth deep within.
Omar Mateen
is a product
Of this society
That taught him to hate us
Oh you held the gun
He pulled the trigger
But you held the gun
He pulled the trigger!
You don’t get to pick
And choose
From the Bible
You don’t get to pick
And choose
From the Quran
It tells you to love
every one
Of your neighbours
If you love your God
You ought to love us
If you love your God
You ought to love us
We are not sinners or monsters or paedophiles
We are not dykes or faggots or sodomites
We are human beings trying to live out our lives
We’re just human beings trying to live out our lives
Don’t blame the church, or the mosque, or the synagogue
Its the people who write
The laws we abide by
Don’t blame the church, or the mosque, or the synagogue
Its the people who watch
And allow us to die
You teach your children
Who to hate
You teach your families
How to behave
You teach your children
How to hate
You teach your children
To live in shame
Its the people who write
The laws we abide by
Its the people like you
Who silently stand by
You are the gun man -
You are the gun man -
You taught the gun man and
He pulled the trigger!
If you really cared, you'd raise your fist up
Wave our flag high and shout “love is love.”
Oh if you really cared, you'd raise your fist up
Wave our flag high and shout “love is love”
We will keep loving
Till we die
We will not let you
Bring us down
We will keep loving
Untill we die
We will not let you
Bring us down
Love
Love is love
Love
God is love
Love
God is love
Love
Love is LOVE.

I just found this. As a young lgbt youth this is so inspiring
Im so glad to read this. Sending you love and light and solidarity x
TheLeeOnline sends chills down my spine.
agree
“If you love your God you ought to love us” _chills._
Performance is so raw and impeccably true, I’m shook each time I come back to this
my heart dropped several times. so raw and beautiful 🌈❤️ and inspiration
Made me cry. Amazing as always Bella.
Spectacular as usual! Would you mind putting the lyrics in the video description? My niece, who is deaf, loves to read them. Thanks!
Hi Maya, thank you for reminding me. The lyrics are now in the description :)
@Eden Arts Hahaha you just hate the truth that is so typical of a depraved mind reprobate Rom 1;25-28.😉
Hahaha, you confirm Psalm 14-1, 58-1 Only the FOOL says within his/her heart there is no God.....Only a DUMD ASS would deny their own chance for eternal life and think themselves wise, so I'll consider the source.....Amen, Aman...😉
@@armymanssg508 sounds like internalized homophobia to me. I hope you can find a way to love and accept yourself, dude
Hahaha, that doesn't work on me, dude...God is the one who said he did not create you "that way" and that he will not allow you, people, into his kingdom but cast you into hellfire 1 Cor 6:9-11, Rev 21:8-10...I'm not going against God for YOU he is the one I fear not YOU!!! Matt 10:26-28.
I accept myself, I'm just not going to accept the Lie you are trying to "force me" to accept, your comment "sounds like" you are 'internalizing" your hatred of the truth...Maybe you should stop your truth phobia. You know, the irrational fear and "hatred" of the truth.
You should read that verse before you go 'thinking" I am afraid of you..By the way, the word "gay", simply means to be happy...I hope you "accept" the truth of God and stop fooling yourself...😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I get a full body chill every time I listen to this ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Nearly in tears this is so empowering
Thanks you for supporting us and those like use that died LOVE IS LOVE.
ok, which people disliked this?!? this is beautiful.
Hahaha, How about God who is the creator of love and warns against the practice of same-gender sex and says he will not allow them nor the MORONS that support them into his kingdom but destroy them in the lake of fire 1 Cor 6;9-11, Rom1:32, and Rev 21:8-10...God, doesn't consider same-gender sex love, he calls the act vile, disgusting, UNNATURAL, detestable, abominable, and a wicked LUST, your SILLY ASS opinion is not above the law and punishment he has placed against the foolish act of same-gender sex.
Before you declare "there is no God" or I don't believe in God, you should know you confirm his existence with your foolishness Psalm 14-1, 58-1, Only the FOOL says in his heart there is no God, you are the proof, the grave is the evidence, you're just too STUPID to see it.
ARMYMAN SSG God Isnt Real Doe 😉
ARMYMAN SSG “you are the gunman.”
@@armymanssg508 that username and using religion as a reason to shame "sinners"
...
you have no right to say the LGBT community is "unnatural" and you clearly did not watch nor listen to the video, I respect your beliefs as some cannot accept nor respect other's beliefs but what you are saying now is the reason why the youth is so suicidal today. I hope you realize to not live by the bible as a whole.
"And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Matthew 22:39
Why is this not famous
I love this. So many people shy from showing imagery of gay relationships for fear of making people uncomfortable. I love it.
That was absolutely beautiful!😀
so well done
I truly enjoyed this poet
Hey guys...
There's a patron Saint of homosexuality. It's Saint Sebastian.
Have a gayer day.
{if you need to hear it for some reason today. You're valid, your perfect the way you are. Don't let someone tell otherwise, if YOU want to change, go for it. Don't let someone else change you.}
This was beautiful. God is love! “He demonstrated His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Oh God !!! She is already blessed ! So good 🥺
Hi Bella, thank you so much for creating such an excellent piece of art!
I was scanning CZcams for LGBTQ poetry for my university assignment, and am so glad this has come up.
Thank you again and keep doing what your doing because it truly is incredible x
Thank you, Harry, that means a lot. I hope this piece is useful for your assignment. Sending love x
This was beautiful 😢❤️
incredible poem! ❤💛💚💙💜
Goosebumps every second
Beautiful ♥️
The beauty of your mind is really inspiring to me. No wonder I have a crush on you. 😟
Beautiful
yesssssssssss
Crying..
This is so inspiring!
Its goosebumping...😶
thank you ♥️
Speechless😢😢
I am still listening to this after 4 years
Would you car if I did a cover of this? You'd be fully credited. I just really love this!
hi there, no, I dont mind you doing a cover of my work as long as I am credited. Thank you for asking!
It's upsetting to know that people who love God cannot follow his important rule, love thy neighbor just like how we should love Jesus. It's just heartbreaking that we still have those who judge and does to show compassion and undying love for everyone. Yes it's ok to disagree...but it's not ok to destroy, it's not ok to hate. Good job to this song I love that she brings the point that god isn't the one it's is us who need to take responsibility for all this and we can change that
Godbless us all love is love
Hi everyone, I have some new works out & Id like to link you to this one about #bisexuality It’s in stop-motion! Watch here: czcams.com/video/TC5j6X5Ik6Y/video.html
And thank you SO much for all your views & positive comments. It’s a joy to know that so many young LGBTQ people find this work inspiring :)
Lots of love,
Bella
Can someone write the lyrics?
This could be LGBT hymn hahahah
Does “love is love” apply to sister and brother relationships?
Shut up
It must be so hard to be living America in 2020 🙄🤣🤣
Stay away from what is not right in the eyes of God yes Love is love but don't encourage wrong things God is coming soon the end is near. I pray that God helps us choose His teachings and leave the worldly things you learn from "Jackie Hill Perry" I believe you will be blessed.
Is the end still near🤣🤣😭
AMEN
