Songs to Fight the Plutocratic Theocracy By: "Sing If You're Glad to Be Gay"

Great Protest Songs writes:

Originally written for the 1976 London Gay Pride Parade, this powerful attack on the ‘straight’ establishment was banned by the BBC. It was one of the first songs to deal directly with Gay Rights, pointing to the hypocrisy of the legal system and the media regarding homosexuality. Later Robinson sang it at an Amnesty International fundraiser to protest the Amnesty policy of refusing to regard gays as political prisoners.
