So over the weekend two of my lovely friends managed to get me sucked on to Second Life, or SL for short, and NO I will not post my name you want to know ask and I may tell you, and took me exploring to other parts of the game. While at one of these parts, and amazing song that sums up how I feel about the "LGBT" community as whole. The lyrics are below, if you would like listen while reading got this site: http://www.archive.org/details/AnnaRolandAbandonedCities You can also download that album from that site! Spread the word folks! Other than that, going to let the song speak for itself. Enjoy folks! BYES!
Rich, White and Gay Lyrics by Anna Roland
Well, what do you see of the gay mainstream?
Queer eye, queer folk—it’s queer TV.
And you say "oh my goodness look how far we’ve come"
but that all depends on where you’re coming from
chorus:
Yeah, when you say ‘we’
I think i know what you mean
it’s that rich, white, gay and lesbian
so called community
It’s the folks who wanna end housing discrimination
but ban youth shelters in the name of beautification.
Who think their partners should have health coverage to share,
but don’t give a damn ‘bout universal health care.
Who fight in the courts for tougher hate crimes,
but think the racist system is working just fine.
‘Cause it’s OK to haul off to jail the homeless and the youth
people of color, trannys, sex workers too
as long as it’s not people like you
then you can maintain you’re agenda
that benefits the few.
Repeat Chorus
It’s a gay mainstream that votes anti-poor,
as long as civil unions are accounted for.
They don’t seem to see their obvious connections
between race, class, ability, and gender expression.
They don’t think of the black drag queens that battled for us all
hurlin’ high heels at the cops outside of stonewall
when they vote to put more pigs on the streets
and never hear about the people that they beat.
Repeat Chorus
Some true facts about the Human Rights Campaign!
‘Cause the Human Rights Campaign is sponsored by Nike and Coors,
who violate everybody’s rights but yours.
They claim to advocate for queers and trannys
and then don’t write them into nondiscrimination policies.
They even endorsed a republican candidate.
Thanks HRC for bein’ my advocate.
Repeat Chorus
It’s the log cabins, the don’t ask don’t tell.
It’s consumerisms choice demographic to sell.
It’s climbin’ up the ladder leavin’ everyone behind.
It’s the best pecking order capitalism can find.
It’s the upwardly mobile that want to marry.
It’s the strict butch/femme dichotomy.
It’s queers who equate true equality
with straight privilege like shows on TV
as long as the butt of the jokes are still based on misogyny
and the lead roles are straight in reality.
It’s a slap in the face to kioshi
and every other liberation warrior since the sixties
and anyone ever arrested on your street
cuz they might lower the value of your property.
Yeah, when you say we
I think I know what you mean
it’s that rich, white, gay and lesbian so called....
Well it’s not the trannys, it’s not the dykes
it’s not anyone who’s not white
it’s not the whores, not the fags
not asians, latinas, natives, or blacks
it’s not the homeless, the deaf or blind
it’s not fake cocks or chests that bind
it’s not the fat folks, or the freaks
or any combination of any other identity
Except that rich, white, gay
that rich, white, and gay
that rich, white, gay ...
...and sometimes lesbian
so called community.
