AGAINST IN HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT AND BECAUSE

HOW WE ACT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHO WE ARE

AND IF WE GET HARASSED IT’S OUR PROBLEM AND IF

WE GET ATTACKED WE PROVOKED IT AND IF WE RAISE

OUR VOICES WE'RE FLAUNTING OURSELVES AND IF WE

ENJOY SEX WE RE PERVERTS AND IF WE HAVE AIDS WE

DESERVE IT AND IF WE MARCH WITH PRIDE WERE

RECRUITING CHILDREN AND IF WE WANT OR HAVE

CHILDREN WE RE UNFIT PARENTS AND IF WE STAND UP

FOR OUR RIGHTS WE RE OVERSTEPPING OUR BOUND-

ARIES AND BECAUSE WE ARE FORCED CONSTANTLY TO

QUESTION OUR OWN WORTH AS HUMAN BEINGS AND

IF WE DON’T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE

OF THE OPPOSITE SEX WE HAVEN’T GIVEN IT A CHANCE

AND IF WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE OF

THE SAME SEX IT IS NOT RECOGNIZED AND WE ARE

TOLD OUR LOVE IS NOT “REAL” AND IF WE COME OUT

OF THE CLOSET WE'RE JUST GOING THROUGH A PHASE

AND BECAUSE LESBIAN

AND GAY HISTORY IS

VIRTUALLY ABSENT FROM

LITERATURE AND BE-

CAUSE HOMOPHOBIA IS

SANCTIONED BY THE

SUPREMECOURTAND...

FOR LOTS AND LOTS
