Gay Community Unhappy

Gay voters across the country are threatening to withhold support of Democrats on election day. Activists claim on-going discrimination in the workplace and the military.



             Unhappy Returns

The lesbian, transgender, and the gay
Look at Democrats with what’s been called dismay.
As election day approaches close at hand,
These folks are finding pickings rather bland.

Democrats against the GOP
And the Party that identifies with Tea,
Are counting on longstanding gay support
As the party works at holding down the fort.

But gay voters all throughout the nation
Say they still feel much discrimination.
Democrats, some feel, have missed the boat;
And so some folks just may withhold their vote.
