Earlier today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down both the Defense of Marriage Act (forbidding federal recognition of anything beyond male-female nuptials) and Proposition 8 (which had muffled wedding bells specifically in California). Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent sounds paranoid and bitter even by his standards, but I realized that its sheer rancor, if nothing else, would be perfect for a queercore anthem. So, after a lot of scissoring, I give you “Same-Hex Ceremony.”
Fruitless afternoons ransacking our library
Homosexual sodomy
Other arrangements
Nothing like that is present here
What, then, are we doing here?
Oral argument
Intimately binds
This class of persons
Impetuous vortex
Rootless and shifting
Diseased root
So attractive
Diseased root
Black-robed supremacy
Moral disapproval
I find it wryly amusing
Downright boring
Carve this into stone
Unimaginable evil
This case is about power
Enemies of the human race
Enthroned at the apex of government
Be sure of this much:
Hate your neighbor or come along with us
Diseased root
So attractive
Diseased root
Black-robed supremacy
