Conservatives Fearful Of Coming Out Jack Dorsey

For many years gays and lesbians lived in the closet afraid to admit

Fearful employers would react by firing or asking them to quit

Or voters would not see them for public office fit

Fearful that in a foxhole they would not be allowed to sit

Not right and slowly but surely the closet doors opened and they came out

And the forces of discrimination receded though not in a complete rout

New closets unfortunately are experiencing a building boom

And diversity of thought is suffering great doom and gloom

In college classrooms conservatives are fearful to their ideas express  

In Hollywood conservatives are fearful lest their employment chances be suppressed

In politics poll results are often skewed

As conservatives fearful expressing what they believe is true

In Silicon Valley the social media giants lean to the liberal cause
Anyone expressing conservative thoughts is thought to be flawed

No wonder Dorsey of Twitter indicated conservatives are afraid to come out

A different opinion than the left is quickly put to rout

Somewhat hypocritical and self serving due to Twitter's shadow ban

And algorihyms on conservative speech hard to justify or understand

No one wants to be attacked for one’s social views

Build and hide in the closet so no one has a clue

Who loses when ideas are concealed due to possible ridicule?

Concealed due to a self imposed gag rule

The answer is simple each and every one whether left or right or in between

Tolerance on both sides must be the mantra so the dependence on closets we can wean
