“In america,
I place my ring
on your cock
where it belongs”
—Essex Hemphill
_____________________

Let’s get real, man—
no more Down Low, baby

Hidin it all the time—
when ya know what be
_____________

Let Black Love be real—
as real as Black Beauty

No more banned marriages—
TABOO for anybody NOW
_________________

Be TABOO if ya wanna be—
but it aint gonna be me 

Mixed marriages be kosher—
it’s time for GLBT folks now
_____________

Truman got rid of it—
after WWII in the Military

Obama got rid of it—
when he ditched DADT
______________

DON’T ASK DON’T TELL—
“Always keep it hidden!!!”

Livin our lives in the Shadows—
like crummy CLOSET CASES
________________

Doin it but not like—
flaunting it, dontchaknow

The STR8TS now be—
The REAL CLOSET CASES
_____________

No more Closets—
No more hiding any lifestyle

No more pretending STR8T—
locked up in Straitjacket Denial
______________

It’s time everybody gets to—
Share American Citizenship

That gold ring means one thing—
Time for all of us to be AMERICANS
___________

NO MORE SLAVERY to Race—
or Color or Sex or Religion 

Can Black folk still turn against—
their own gay brothers & sisters?
_________

Slowly the Civil War gotta BE—
what Lincoln said it BE

We can’t treat each other—
like SLAVES anymore
