Imagine your child
The teasing he'd hear
Attacked and harassed
Taunts of "faggot" and "queer"
The teachers all know
but they'd just turn away
They'd say it's a problem
that he acts so gay
Imagine your daughter
won't wear a dress
short hair and no make-up
Is her beauty worth less?
Her choices are different
Which many don't like
Because they feel threatened
they call her a dyke
Imagine being hated
rejected, reviled
Would you still accept it
if this were your child?
