Straight Eye for the Queer Guy

By Len Bourret

 

The heterosexual
Peter Principle.

Massachusetts, in a 
homosexual world.

Heterosexuals are
not allowed straight
marriage.

Civil unions are
allowed only,
limit their rights,
for these people
are really weird.

We must keep
these people
in their place,
as second or
third-class
citizens.

For they may
turn all society
straight, and
will adversely
influence our
homosexual
offspring.

And, worse
yet, these
people will
positively
support
non-traditional
differences,
rather than
traditional
commonalities
or similarities.

Heaven, forbid!
We cannot allow
heterosexuals to
have equality, or
fairness, in the
world.

We cannot allow the 
world to change. We
can only allow what
has been familiar to
us: harsh, rigid, one-
way puritanical law,
and capitalism.

If we give these people
their full, constitutional
rights, they will take
over the world, and
inflict their socialistic
ideas on the rest of
us.

They will take away
our democratic ideas,
beliefs, principles, and
archaic value system.

Worse still, they will
promote the culturally
diverse, and the world
will become deviant or
perverse.

Heterosexuals present
themselves as a danger.
Do not let these people
in!
