to the tune of Corner of the Sky from Pippin
Everything has its queerness
TV, film, even games
Tell me your favourite and I’ll soon tell you the same
Artisans of Splendent Vale
GameBoy, Small Town Emo
What can I say? I used to roleplay—playing by post!
Queer games are here, and always have been
We’re here “putting the ‘gay’ in gaymes”
We’ve got to be where our spirits can run free
Got to find our corners of the sky
After all why do research
When you can pick your goal
There’s no right or wrong choice
Just have fun, and give it all!
Gender and sexualities
Are not only for humanities
And don't you see that you too can be
Cross-disciplinary
LGBT Representation
Queer, intersex, ace, poly, too
We’ve got to be where our spirits can run free
Got to find our corners of the sky
So many games are out there
Where do we even begin
But we won't rest because “the ‘Project’ never ends”
So when you have opportunities
Supportive communities
I’d recommend taking time to read
Ruberg and Shaw.
Identities are not just labels
Complexities are where we shine
We’ve got to be where our spirits can run free
Got to find our corners of the sky
