Anthem (Explicit)

white bourgie bitches are getting gay married in

west la while macklemore and ryan lewis sing a queer

anthem

because they know marriage can separate shame from love

(what need have i for bread when i have

wedding cake) after all its laws not respect what makes us human.

because of course right now i am not human

im a second class beast in

need of a straight savior who will have

that rare sense of higher purpose to support Those Queer

Folk a savior who will bear that burden of love

and who will march to the beat of our anthem.

I do! I do! I do! not believe that an anthem

written by a straight man whose identity as a human

has never been questioned and who has never been beaten for love

can represent my people who in

their daily lives fight for the queer

and die for what they do not (cannot) have

the rights and respect and safety and freedom they do not (cannot) have

for gunshots and nooses are our anthem

the deafening song of the dead and dying queer

not because they cannot marry but because they are not human

we second class beasts we in-

human freaks of nature we physically deformed freaks who dont know “real love”

we who dont know real - traditional - love

we who have never experienced the effect a lovers lips may have

or the security of anothers affections in

our hearts. we know nothing of a soulful and pure anthem

of love. after all we are not human

we are the animal queer

we are the animal queer

and no we feel no love

for the Allies who cannot see us as human

but as trophies to have

to fill their tumblrs with fanfiction and their ipods with cute gay anthems

but its fine. my people are not dying we are gaining marriage there is change from within

and because of that we the queer (wish you would stop saying tranny and faggot) have

nothing but gratitude for the straight man's sacrifices and offer our now-legal-love and      dedicate this anthem

to you. we who are now human would like to thank you for allowing us in.
