ORAL HISTORY

Marching In Pride With My Sisters And Brothers,

I Keep Them Inside...

My Loved Ones And Lovers,

As Faggots And Dykes...

In Gay Celebration,

Tell What Twas Like...

Before Liberation...

They Tell Us Their Stories...

As We Share Our Own,

In Failures And Glories...

No Longer Alone,

Sharing Our Knowledge...

Grown Strong And United,

Our Cause Will Be Heard...

And Will Not Be Divided!

Though Daylight Is Fading...

Our Time Has Not Ended...

At Last We'll Be Joined...

As Our Love Intended...

For We Come Together

Here...Changing The Now...

For Now And Forever...

Exchanging The Vow...

Husbands To Husbands...

And Wives To Their Wives...

We Honor The Dead...

And Embrace Our Own Lives...

We Remember Our History...

And Share What We've Learned...

For In Ignorance Faggots

Like Witches

Are Burned,

But Queer Pride Is Power...

If Kept Vocal...

Not Violent...

For History Has Shown That

The Dying Are Silent.
