With their cloaks of fear and ignorance wearing thin,
those who stand against equality
will soon stand before the world
as they stand before their god,
wrapped only in the tattered cloth of bigotry.
Though less recognizable
than the white sheets of another era,
the cloth still chafes;
bleeding, infecting, and scarring
all who continue to wear it.
