176. Pray The Anti-gay Away (a poem for Pride month and beyond)
Manage episode 366259663 series 1097457
We gotta fight and pray the anti-gay away
You can’t be gay
You can’t be queer
Schools supposed to be a place for comfort
But for some students & staff, it’s all about fear
How can we keep our kids in schools
That wanna ban LGBTQ
+ the fact that they were never really welcome
But many of us have tried
Many of us fought for equality while our friends and fam felt the government lied
They wanna ban the teaching of what they call a “lifestyle”
Though some of our historical “heroes” were pedophiles
Some even got statues…
But we’re talking about consenting individuals who just wanna love each other
And they could be your father, your mother, your sister, your brother
Or you
And if it’s you they’re coming for you too
But we’re standing with you
Demanding with you
Understanding with you
Upstanding with you
Not as allies but as partners
Fighting for equality, making your journey less harder
Because being homosexual shouldn’t be a class B misdemeanor
And being gay in class shouldn’t make society this meaner
I’m so GLAAD for the Trevor Project who seeks better prospects for our youth
And so many other groups that want our youth to live in their truth
Schools should be a place of love and education
But our so-called leaders are only focused on indoctrination
So many things I thought we transcended
But if you say your trans your career or school life might be ended?
Not sure what happened to our Harvey Milk of human kindness
Not sure how we’ve descended into this blindness
But we’re not just gonna stay appalled at these attempts to Stonewall
We’re gonna fight in every school board meeting and every city hall
Because loving who you love should never be a crime
And being who you’re meant to be in today’s world should be fine
Learning about Marsha P. should be mandatory
In our schools, campuses, and dormatories
Our work just isn’t done in making America as good as its promise
We must continue to stand up and move to real acceptance from intolerance!
