Roger in Baltimore Historical gay/lesbian/bisexual songs? (148* d) RE: Historical gay/lesbian/bisexual songs? 08 Jun 99


Songs anyone?

After the Republican convention 8 years ago, I borrowed a quotation from a German theologian (Martin Neimoller I believe) and wrote this song.

They came for the witches and I was not one. I was not one. I was not one. They came for the witches and I was not one, And since I was not one, I said nothing.

They came for the Communists and I was not one. (etc.)

They came for the blacks and I was not one, (etc.)

They came for the gays and I was not one, (etc.)

(change of tune) And then they came for me, oh yes, they came for me. And when they came for me there was no one left to speak.

Also, Loudon Wainwright III has a song about falling in love with a lesbian.
