Luyện nghe bài hát When Heterosexism Strikes

(This was written after an article by Joseph Neisen in
the Fall 1990 issue of OUT/LOOK, "Heterosexism or
The Power of the Language We Use." He writes,
"Heterosexism... identifies the true of the prejudice...
and on the real problem - discrimination against gay
men and lesbians... use of heterosexism leads the way
to survival.")
You're for a job
So you're out a form
And for all and purposes
You fit the norm
Until it says to list your of kin
But no box to fit you in
Cause the one you
The one who shares life
Is not your husband or wife
Oh no!
Heterosexism strikes
So use the of the pen
To draw a box of own and then
it however you like:
Lover, or partner-in-life
That's one way you can
When heterosexism
Michael his country well
When he to fight the war
And each from his lover
He safely in a drawer
Until a witch hunt of style
Demanded he be put on
said his love, his sexuality
Threatened security
Oh no!
knocks you down
But pick yourself up off the
And challenge to a second round
Get a lawyer, file a
Drag asses back into court
That's one way you can
When heterosexism
let them break you, or make you miserable
Don't let them take you, and you invisible
We're here, we're queer, that's a fact
When strikes, strike back!
Sharon and her Sue
and dined by candlelight
They were one of couples getting intimate that night
Until the waiter asked both to leave
And they looked at him in
As he ended their night of bliss
Because had the nerve to kiss
Oh no!
Heterosexism again
But you've got rights you defend
So get together a group of gayest friends
Go back to the scene of the
Hug and kiss and have a good
one way you can fight
When heterosexism
on the loose
But you don't have to take
No! the time we can put to use
The anger we feel
The love we're to conceal
got to stand up and fight
When heterosexism
