Happy Pride Month

 
It’s Happy Pride Month bitches!
It’s my birthday month so I’m celebrating that too
So be ready because I may have you in stitches
From laughter, but I can shank a skank if you want me to

I done told y’all, remove the W from Wally because I’m an ally
I pronounce my pronouns as he/him and that crazy fucker there
I’m all about equality and inclusion that’s why I keep a close eye
On any intolerant political shenanigans so haters beware

So you wanna be pro-life while there are kids who take their own lives?
Many are too scared to share how they feel or be who they are
It’s important to accept people, remove barriers and besides…
You may already know some, you just don’t have good gaydar

Be happy for people who want to be free, who want to express themselves
They are your neighbors, your friends, you co-workers, your loved ones too
Don’t be ignorant and get to know folks but you gotta do it for yourselves
Otherwise hate erodes the soul leaving you with a narrow point of view

Pride is about awareness, knowing the troubles and struggles of others
About earning respect and understanding and showing propriety
They are our cousins, our sisters, our fathers, our brothers and mothers
Pride is about learning so that we can work toward a better society
