We knew you were gay with Father Figure

I mean what else could you be

Still, for a long time, only rumors

A girl of mine she dated Seal

Who said she saw you make eyes at him across the pool

Or was it the pool table, at his fancy mansion

Still, you had to be caught in a park bathroom with a cop to come out

Still, nothing changes, even/especially for pop stars

But that was the last sneaky BJ for you

Next a video in mirrored aviators about public sex and shame

Made all ten of us proud as we watched in a San Diego gay bar

Still, you got free

Now I guess your “family" will еuphemize your death

From "complications from pnеumonia"

Or however they’re coding it these days

Your family consists of straight girls

Who wanked off to you at 13 because

They couldn’t see your real family was us

Still the plague makes of us diseased pariahs

Even the rich famous successful handsome perfect out ones

Even if we were never sick. we stand for the sick

We stand up to those who want to defend your honor by saying you weren’t

And what. we’re better than our dead friends

Cuz we didn't die of the plague?

You would have tossed that bullshit aside

You stood for us. for you

Wear a gold star when you’re not Jewish

Say you’re pos when you’re negative. you’d do it

Although you can’t chime in on this thread

I have to believe you would have

See, I do need another hero. I do have faith

Switch a star on your belly

Turn systems of privilege and flags upside down

Right now truth is monumental

But a lie to make a point is fine as you always were

We’re sick, and proud of it
