    While perusing Wikipedia's information of which I already know, I found a link to this song entitled, "When Heterosexism Strikes" by Romanovsky & Phillips. :eusa_danc I will not be satisfied until I post it.

    "You're applying for a job
    So you're filling out a form
    And for all intents and purposes
    You fit into the norm
    Until it says to list your next of kin
    But there's no box to fit you in
    'Cause the one you love
    The one who shares your life
    Is not your husband or your wife
    Oh no!

    "Heterosexism strikes again
    So use the power of the pen
    To draw a box of your own and then
    Label it however you like:
    Lover, spouse, or partner-in-life
    That's one way you can fight
    When heterosexism strikes

    "Michael served his country well
    When he went to fight the war
    And each letter from his lover
    He locked safely in a drawer
    Until a witch hunt of McCarthy style
    Demanded he be put on trial
    They said his love, his sexuality
    Threatened national security
    Oh no!

    "Heterosexism knocks you down
    But pick yourself up off the ground
    And challenge them to a second round
    Get a lawyer, file a report
    Drag their asses back into court
    That's one way you can fight
    When heterosexism strikes

    "Don't let them break you, or make you miserable
    Don't let them take you, and make you invisible
    We're here, we're queer, that's a natural fact
    When heterosexism strikes, strike back!

    "Sharon and her lover Sue
    Danced and dined by candlelight
    They were one of many couples
    Getting intimate that night
    Until the waiter asked them both to leave
    And they looked at him in disbelief
    As he ended their romantic night of bliss
    Because they'd had the nerve to kiss
    Oh no!

    "Heterosexism strikes again
    But you've got rights you must defend
    So get together a group of your gayest friends
    Go back to the scene of the crime
    Hug and kiss and have a good time
    That's one way you can fight
    When Heterosexism strikes

    "Heterosexism on the loose
    But you don't have to take abuse
    No! Now's the time we can put to use
    The righteous anger we feel
    The love we're taught to conceal
    We've got to stand up and fight
    When heterosexism strikes

    "Don't let them break you, or make you miserable
    Don't let them take you, and make you invisible
    We're here, we're queer, that's a natural fact
    When heterosexism strikes, strike back!"
