lyrics

“Hide your daughters from that man in the women’s bathroom!!!!!”
Shriek the transphobic, Family-Focused evangelicals in the courtroom
What a way to invalidate – they’ll equate one’s identity with a motive for rape?!

What a desperate scheme, a delusional dream
To try and reclaim the zeitgeist for the Right Wing
But they lost that foothold way back in the 80s
And lost all credibility by blaming the gays
For 9-11, Katrina, and Haiti

So now they’ll refuse to decorate cakes
But they can’t stop the bum rush of weddings for the gays!
They know they’re on the wrong side of history
So, they try to pit the LGB against the T

But we’ll stand strong beside our sisters, brothers, non-binary siblings
And refuse to see them stripped of their dignity
Or forced into scenarios to be faced with bigotry
Sure, restrictions on a bathroom might not seem that evil
Until one remembers “separate but equal”!!

The state can’t dictate who we are in our hearts
Or limit our genders to our reproductive parts
We see this kind of backlash with each social improvement:
An increase in “religious freedom” movements
But that victim mentality must be rearranged
Or else be toppled by unstoppable societal change

Upbeat, quirky, and just a tad bit nihilistic.
