About the Stonewall riots in 1969 that spawned many gay rights activist organizations and helped push the cause into the national spotlight.

lyrics

Line them up on the wall
Violate them with your ignorance
Extinguishing vibrant cultures
You deemed unfit to exist
Men and women gather round
Just to see how all of this ends
Growing restless at the sight
Of pointless intolerance

Burn it down
Destroy expectations that we won't resist
Burn it down
Cowering in fear for the crimes you commit.

Take an eye for an eye
Bloody and broken and free
Intent to destroy your moral fallacies
You're protecting no one from nothing
Yet yer breeding criminals
Sanctity of marriage is a joke
So if yer status quo

Burn it down
Destroy expectations that we won't resist
Burn it down
Cowering in fear for the crimes you commit.
Born in the darkness raised in the shadows
We'll find our way into the light.

When the violence stopped
We took our fight to the crowded streets
No more hiding our faces
Running through the night as the cops give chase
Cause we've had enough
Of the senseless laws that fuel your hate
We're not gonna play these games
Find peace in yourself and youll lose your shame
