Governor Brewer, a Woman of Courage
Governor Brewer, a Woman of Courage
By Elton Camp
Many hold gay sex to be wrong
A view that in law doesn’t belong
This country is a secular state
Official beliefs thus don’t rate
If you operate some public store
May you say, “Gay come no more?”
Hold on there--no not quite!
What gives you any such right
Your business you can close
If you don’t want to serve those
However, what kind of old billy goat
Shoves his beliefs down others’ throat
What if religion should hold such sway?
Iran and Iraq both operate just that way
If with the majority you don’t comply
Then you must expect that you’ll die
If religion gets the force of law
A worse situation you never saw
Governor Brewer showed the way to go
With her appropriate, courageous veto
