Open your ears and tell me what you hear. A word of only three letters can hurt so many. People trash talking on the basketball court Saying that your moves **** And that he’s all that. Oh, by the way, Your moves are just gay?
Walk down the halls of every school, Middle school High school University, And you will hear, “Oh my God, he’s so gay.” Or “…that’s so gay.”
Walk down Main Street of every town, Your town My town His town Her town, And you will her kids of all ages saying, “Don’t be so gay” Or “You’re gay.”
That word is only three letters long But it carries a big punch. It carries the same weight of an atomic bomb. When you let it go, Everyone is hurt. It offends everyone, especially those who are gay
It’s not cool or creative So the next time you use “gay” Remember: “You offend one person, And you offend everyone.” Think before you speak.
My inspiration was from the PSA for GLSEN and the Ad Council's Think Before You Speak campaign on April 12, 2011. It features Grant Hill and Jared Dudley from the Phoenix Suns.
