Andrea Gibson- I Do (Gay [Queer] Marriage Poem) 

Came immediately to listen to this after todays supreme court decision in the US :-)

This is the Poem I want to use to propose to my Grilfriend. :3 This summer, I think.. Have a ring picked out. I love Andrea gibson. Did a beautiful rendition of Ashes for my school Talent show

Im crying .... and this isn't my first time watching this

While I was together with my ex girlfriend her and I listened to this all the time. And after months of us being apart, I couldn't help but revisit this poem. It kills me.

How can anyone watch this (and I mean seriously watch it. Shut your mouth, open your heart and watch it) and still say we don't need marriage equality? EVERYONE deserves to be happy.

That ending makes me cry every time. Such an absolutely beautiful piece.

the goodbye at the end always makes me cry tbh

The imagery created is just sublime. My tears are running down my face and I don't even mind.

I actually broke a blood vessel in my eye because I was listening to her poetry for an hour and crying the entire time. She's amazing.

"But I never needed more then the stars on your skin to lead me home." beautiful. absolutely gorgeous.

I cried too! The first time i saw two guys kiss i was 16 and i cried like a baby when i got home i thought everything i was and thought was just a wasted dream and then i realized hey im real! Love this poem, keeping the hope that someday we will.

I am a straight guy. Can't help it - I'm hardwired to love women. But love is love. I'll never understand why anyone would ever hate someone for being who God meant them to be. This poem strikes a chord with me. We cannot help who we fall in love with. Gay, Straight, Bi - we all deserve to feel the love and companionship of another human being.

That just cracked a piece of my heart off. Every time.

Beautiful! It's great to know that everyone can now say " I Do ".

I NEED TO FIND TOUR DATES TO SEE HER LIVE!

"Fear is only a verb if you let it be; don't you dare let go of my hand."

I only wish you could have orated this poem at my high school. I'm gay and I'm actually from Kansas. I thought I was the only one for so long. Thank you for this poem, it really means the means so much because I may be gay but I wouldn't change it for the world because I refuse to be a product of the social construction of what society wants me to be rather than who I am. Love is love and let love live no matter what shape or form.

This poem will never not make me cry.

I cried and cried. Such love

Last line has me crying nooo

I've never had a poem move me this much, never cried over something so worth crying over because of the realism and truth and yet disappointment in it. Wonderful. Let's change the world people

Your poetry is simply beautiful and it helps so much knowing that other people care about the same things I do because sometimes I just feel like I'm so alone. It made me cry like I haven't cried in a long time and it honestly pains my heart to remember that not so long ago we could not love who we wanted and say "I do". This was simply beautiful, you have a real talent.

This poem means so much to me. It paints the perfect picture of love.

This is the most beautiful things I've ever heard .. So many happy tears

Not only is the poem beautiful, but she presents it so damn well. Bravo!

I watch this every morning, it gives me goosebumos.

This was beautiful oh my goodness.

I have no words for how beautiful this was

I caught this on TV one night and it literally stopped me in my tracks. LUV IT!

Amazing. Pure joy. Beautiful. Thank you so very much for your poetry.

This reminds me of my girlfriend so much. I actually didn't know who Andrea Gibson was until she dragged me to one of Andrea's readings at our local college for our first date. And when I heard her perform this, I immediately knew this was our poem. I love you, B, and I do want to spend my life with you

i just love this poem so much

This made me cry. My girlfriend said this reminded her of me. ♥

I love andrea gibson. I love to turn folks on to her! it's so much fun. thanks for your great energy. and your amazing words. andrea.

i can't breathe, this is so beautiful

I LOVE this lady.

I've watched this 6 times now, and I would be perfectly content to spend the rest of my life with this on repeat.

Oh God I can't stop crying. That moved me beyond words.

'my breath turned silver the day your hair did'. woman, you are golden.

My very first proper girlfriend in high school in 2012 showed me this poem and it’s stuck with me ever since. I cry every time I hear it. It makes me feel so happy and so sad at the same time and just so emotional and I’m not really a poetry person but this poem will stay with me forever. I think it does such an incredible job of describing the pain so many of us in queer relationships have had to and still have to deal with because of the society we live in, and it’s such a beautiful description of queer love. I can’t get through it without crying but I love it so much I think I might read it as a part of my vows at my wedding next year. Andrea Gibson is a gift and I hope that they are healthy and happy for many more beautiful years to come 💕

Not only is she an awesome poet but has an awesome voice as well

I'm crying, that was beutiful

I will never get tired of this poem.

She gave me faith when I was weak. And now I'm not afraid of how I feel.

oh my god. This is so beautiful

This makes my heart so happy. Everyone should be allowed to know a love like this - gender aside. Andrea, you are incredibly brave, and you have a beautiful soul. "never go a second hushing the percussion of your heart"

I cry every time I listen to this! I don't think it is healthy to cry everyday!

"In a world that could have left us hard as metal, we were as soft as nostalgia together..." Love that...

This is my favourite video ever!!!

Thank you. That was wonderful.

I love your poems so much

I totally cried at the end. She's amazing.

This is so beautiful. It always makes me cry especially when I think that when I marry the woman I love, my older sister will refuse to go to my wedding or acknowledge my marriage.

I love this poem! Joy unspeakable and full of glory!

This made me burst into happy tears!!! I told myself just now I want to be able to write like Andrea Gibson!!!! And I frecken will!!

Had to come back and watch this just to remember how far we've come.

totally shed some tears listening to this.

This is Beautiful! I love this so much!!

This is one of my favorite spoken word poems! It's beautiful :)

shit. one cannot stop but cry at the end. beautiful! breath taking happiness and saddness all mixed together. a beauty this poem is.

I cried at the ending. How can anyone not acknowledge such love?

... There is wheat in Kansas too...

Love this poem. My favorite.

This made me cry and smile at the same time. I can only hope someone will stand like this for me.

I watched this 10 minutes ago and am still in awe.

Not only is she a beautiful artist, she's a beautiful speaker. Even if I could write something so prefect, I wouldn't be able to share it this well.

Beautiful, beautiful poem! :D

Just cried so hard. This was simply, no not simply, but breathtakingly beautiful.

really beautiful !!

She's perfect and brilliant and an incredible performer.

I'd say never say good bye.. Love is eternal and you'll seem em on the other side. ^.^ When it happens tis what I believe not sure about you but that sounds like a mighty fine thing to me. ^.^ Thank you for such a beautiful piece.
