Just A Homosexual By: Robert H. "J U S T A H O M O S E X U A L" That's it? The phrase is cute. A life defined by one impute. he sings and dances, writes verse and rhyme, he swims and runs, laughs and plays, eyes shine bright, as new mowed hay, Yet all YOU see, is that he's Gay. J u s t a H o m o s e x u a l ? Hold on ! Think before you speak. My brother's soul is mild and meek. he hears the whispers in the trees, he feels the soft of nature's floor, smells the mist - the dawning day, Your only comment, "HE'S GAY !" J u s t a H o m o s e x u a l ? Pity you. The poorest of us three. A vision blocked. Now fear the free. he walks the cliffs, that others dread, he rises past your clubs and knives, he sees beyond the great brick wall, Touches clouds, where others fall, J u s t a H o m o s e x u a l ... Oh sure, THAT'S ALL Accepting My Humanity By: David G. I am male and I am female I am young and I am old I am strong and I am weak I laugh and I weep I am gay and I am straight I am happy and I am sad I am loved and I am despised I know victory and defeat< > I am brave and I am scared I am alone but not forsaken I am a prisoner but I am free because I accept all of this my humanity Lisbons and Lesbians By: Robert Evans Lisbons and Lesbians Dad being an Archie Bunker clone, said the two women next door were 'Lisbons.' I said the home just south that is brick, or the one north that's made of stucco? The nice brick home will definitely decline in value, after they go in. I said how is it exactly you know they are from Portugal? Since you call the couple, 'Lisbons.' What's that got to do at all with what I said 'about those twos? So Dad, our neighbors are LESBIANS-- what's that got to do with decline in value of property? The ins and outs of someone's sex isn't mine to question, I said. So should I (thinking to myself) start singing 'I shall overcome,' or would people of color scream you can't sing that, 'cause the gay cause ain't the same. As if there are no gay black people famous and out. One more discrimination to go. Meanwhile back to our street--Dad sees the obvious humor of his own "Bunkerism." And I weigh how bad the closet can be--why not be open?
