Prop H8


Prop 8

You're so full of hate

You f*cked up a state

And forced us to wait

 

As bait for the courts

You seemed easy to kill

But not until bigots got their way

Trying to "Pray away the gay"

 

What is it about love 

That stirs up debate?

For marriage is sacred

To gays and the straight

 

If our country was born

From separation of church and state

Why must our beliefs stir up such hate?

For love is a bond that does not segregate
