Sometimes it hurts me to think
That I'm not equal to heterosexuals
Sometimes I wish I were different
So I would have the same rights as everyone else
Today marks a hopefully great day
For years and years I've sat in dismay
Wondering when I'll get my way
I pray the rest of Ireland votes yes today
It has been so difficult hearing the no side
Making hurtful comments and acting snide
It breaks my heart to think they don't think
We deserve equal rights; it'd drive you to drink
Today is the day of reckoning
Finally hopefully I get my way
Oh please won't you
Vote yes for equality today

Background Story:
Ireland today is having a referendum, we're making history. I am voting YES because I believe I deserve the same rights. I believe I deserve to marry the person that I love and want to spend my life with. The only difference between me and a heterosexual is who I want to go home with at the end of the night.
I urge you if you're in Ireland today, stand on the right side of history. Let's show them we won't sit down and accept inequality. Rise up and vote yes for yourself, for your future generations and most of all for Equality.
This song is just the first song that was ever really in mainstream media representing the gays. Christina Aguilera is a woman to be respected.
Hope you all vote Yes today in Ireland, don't break my heart.
