Queer As Fuk

November 17, 1993
Issue 

Heard about boy who wanted to be girl.
Pretended til reality beat her dead on top
of barbed wire fence. brandon astor. no longer.
He got laughed at, she got teased
for looking at the same sex with
lust, longing, defiant and please
just understand and hold my
hand.
To make it in this land all you have
to do is hide underneath
norms radar.
But they lost their minds.
Normality in loving
is a step to far in advance.
How war'd bash this minority
see how far the masquerade
works. For elections anon.
Hold head up high boy.
Sing proud strong woman.
Fight for recognition
round corner; in far off lands
already present.
Marriage Rights:
Now the Next Fight.
