I am gay, aroflux, and allosexual

And I am proud

I am Jewish and a victim of anti semitism

We have the right to practice any religion

I am gender nonconforming

Gender identity is a human right

I have down syndrome and a victim of ableism

I only see my abilities

I am a victim of political hatred

Proud to be an independent

I am a victim of nationalism and ancestry discrimination

I have Volhynian ancestry

I am a direct descendant of the Volhynian tribal union

The Israelites from ancient Israel

The Canaanites from ancient Canaan

I am a grand nephew of immigrants

Who survived the pogroms in Eastern Europe

And born in Israel

No immigrants are illegal

I am a great grandson of Polish-Israeli immigrants

Who survived the 1939 invasion of Poland

Who also did the aliyah

Take took the risk

My grandma changed my family believes

My last name changed from Barill to Brill

This is me

I am
