This is an old song by songwriter (and gay rights advocate) Fred Small, as performed by the Flirtations, a really wonderful a capella group that was around in the 80s and early 90s. As they said when performing the song live, "think of how different you might be... how different the world might be... if parents sung this song to their children growing up."

It was a truly magical experience, and a then-rare opportunity to be around like-minded people and feel completely free to be who you are.
That's a beautiful song, thanks for sharing. I can see how hearing them live would be magical indeed.
This brought tears to my eyes... but don't worry, 'cuz are the tears of my heart <3 Such a beautiful song... I'm gonna cover this on my debut EP, it's decided c:
