My No on 8 mixtape playlist: Videos for queers to claim equality by
I was just invited to a mixtape dance party where everyone gets to pick 5 songs. Here’s my No on 8 Playlist. I’m needing a boost working for equality for all and this is where I’m getting it.
1. Rise Up – Parachute Club
I’ve got asoft spot in my heart for the tunes playing when I was coming out in the 80s. You can’t get get more 80s than this video.
We want freedom to love who we please/
Rise and feel your power…
spirit’s time has come
2. Patti Smith -Gloria
Maybe my favorite song of all time. Our souls will not be refused. One church must not write the CA Constitution.
3. Small Town Boy – Bronski Beat
Because I refuse to go back, not to my small town but to a time when I had no choice but to. Obama says you shouldn’t have to leave your town to get a job. You shouldn’t have to leave your town to have love or be married either.
