Queercide

There are at least four good ways
to kill a queer.

*Classic* is to tie her to a stake
surrounded by male faggots
doused in kerosene
and throw a match.

*Traditional* is to brand them
with pink triangles
and let them season
a few baked Jews.

*Down-Home* is to take
a crowbar or an ax
or just any steel projectile,
preferably one with prongs,
cut off a private part,
and let the queer bleed slowly
in some dark place.

*Contemporary* is to place them
anywhere in the U.S.A.
and spank their first breath.
