Careful, young queers--
Be loath to judge your fellow sistren
          by those same standards of chastity
          to which they hold the feminine race
For you have adolesced with restraint
          and now, advanced (with caution)
          you have permission to defy presumptuous morality.
Break bridles, brothers--
Do not tame your hot, rosé flame
          as though to broadcast yourself
          were unforgivable
For you stand on the graves of your fathers
          and bare(naked)backs of your uncles
          who fought for you to be not ashamed.
Persevere, dear hearts--
Deny the God who denies you
          and teaches his flocks of followers
          to act with such callous indifference
For you are God’s great creation
          and your love is further (undeniable) proof
          of glamour in divine design.
