Because I'm a Man

Oppression and ignorence fosters self acceptance.

I like family reunions too
Just like you.
Just like you like to show off your man
I like to show mine off too.
But because I'm a man
Who loves a man
You say I can't hold my man's hand.
You say the children won't understand.

I cried at Big Momma's funeral too
Just like you.
Just like your man held and tried to comfort you
I wanted my man to hold and comfort me too.
But because I'm a man
Who loves a man
You said we'd be out of place
And bring Big Momma disgrace.

I go to church and give praise to God too
Just like you.
I love listening to the choir
Going to prayer meetings and Bible Study too.
Because it reminds me
No matter what you say or do
God loves me
Just like He loves you
