Gay

Not a sin to confess.

Not a tendancy to repress,

Or a dangerous urge to supress.

Not a cause for distress.

Not a social ill to address,

Not a reason to obsess.

Or make your coaltion coalesce.

Not a minority to oppress

And of their rights dispossess,

Or even grudgingly acquiesce.

Just people: no more,

No less.
