But We Can Still Sing It

The Florida Legislature has passed a law that’s popularly known as “don’t say gay.” Teachers won’t be allowed to discuss topics related to lesbians, gays, and transsexuals. However, will Florida ban songs containing the word gay? Here are a few examples that might have to be eliminated. I obtained some of these from another blog.

  • Deck the Halls
  • Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
  • Here Comes Peter Cottontail
  • I Feel Pretty, from West Side Story
  • I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy, from South Pacific
  • Dites-Moi, also from South Pacific
  • The Great Pretender
  • Twistin’ the Night Away

My idea of fun would be to have a high school chorus record the lyrics of songs containing the word gay and play them on an endless loop in front of the Florida Capitol.
