video for multi cultural and ethnic studies class.

(we know its not the best)

make sure to read credit o see where we got our information and some of th clips we used.

we are not claiming any credit for the intro, for some of the clips or the song.

poem at he end- written by angela maldonado and angela pomales.

Out of the closet and on to the streets
Theres an emotion and uprising that cant be beat
The screaming and yelling just wont go away
Today is Gay Liberation Day

Stonewall marked the beginning of the gay liberation movement
We are telling this world, there is a need for improvement
Dont come into our bar and tell us how to be
We will tell you now that this wont end pretty

We are Lesbian, Transgender, Bisexual and Gay
There are many celebrations but we have one day
From the past to the present we have come so far
Cant you just see that this is who we are

We want equal rights and the right to marry
They say it isnt lawful, but on the contrary
By separation of church and state
You cant tell us who can be our mate

Before all of this we were in the dark
Now we have gotten attention and made a spark
Our lives we will no longer hide
Because of all this there is gay pride

  • Excellent video girls, I will post it on my website so more people will see it. Thanks for your thoughtful work.

    For the record NAMBLA has nothing to do with The Gay Liberation movement, Gay Rights or Pride. They in no way represent the mainstream GLBT community. Who are repulsed by and condemn their illicit activities, what they represent, which is pedophilia. Their a disgrace to society as are heterosexuals who sexually abuse our minor youth.
