(Gays are today's new Coloreds)

(Two signs in sight:
 Marriages only –   [that's what's]   right,
 Civil-Unions only –   [that's what's]   left)

What more
     do they want?
They've got a door.

But they can't sit at
     our lunch counter!
... what I meant to say was,
     wedding alter!

(Gays are today's new Coloreds)

They can adopt a kitty – that's ok.
But a kiddie? – that's too sick.

(Gays are today's new Coloreds)

I love them on those comedy shows:
They're the funny ones,
with the best puns.
(and buns)
But I wouldn't want my son
to "turn into" one.

(Gays are today's new Coloreds)

I love to hang with them at work. One's
my cubie workmate! He's fun.
But I wouldn't gym-shower alone with him.

What would people say?
