When I was at school I learned
That the currency of Uzbekistan is the Som
How to solve simultaneous equations
By using substitution
That the sixth longest river in Asia
Is the Mekong
And that Sir Francis Bacon
Was born in 1561.
When I was at school I did not learn
That it was okay to be queer.
I grew up during Clause 28, which it looks like we’re heading towards a new version of, but certainly I did not grow up thinking it was safe or okay to be queer.
I mean, I didn’t know that I was at that point, I thought everyone felt like me. But now I know that some people like roasted plum with brandy ice cream, and some of y’all like vanilla.
