Bein' Proud and Jes' Sayin'
Merrily we roll along…Stroll along…Tiptoe along…Stomp our feet along…
Forgive and learn… Live and let live…
You and me, Free to be…
If only!
Respect our pronouns = Respect us, our right to be as
we know ourselves to be.
You say you feel silly? Frilly? I’m for it! Go for it!
You say you feel Rambunctious? Somber? Sophisticated?
I’m for it! Go for it!
You say you wish to be left alone to make your decisions about who you are in this world - to be treated with respect whatever those choices may be as long as they don’t hurt anyone else?
Me, She, He, They, We, too!
White, black, brown, tan, beige - you name it…
Yes! All, too!
An all inclusive world...
If Only.
