Here's the lyrics to two of the songs they wrote especially for our conference.

(Sung to the tune of the "Hallelujah Chorus")

Homo homos, homo homos,
Homosexuals are celestial, hallelujah!
Get together, process your past,
The Jell-O, the fruit punch, hallelujah!
Ooh yer fer shure a swell bunch of kids now
Yer just a bit different
From the ward, hallelujah!
You think the Godhead
Should get their hair done,
Remodel the temple
With mirrors, hallelujah!
Prodigal son painting caused a stir
We think it was a gas
And he sure had a shapely head
And moved around, forever and ever!
Affirmation's growing and growing
So lots of parties you will be throwing,
Banish casseroles, forever and ever!
Come to Utah, home of the Saints,
Try to get a beer—you cain't
And you won't get one, forever and ever!
As you go through life now,
The joy and the strife now
At the end of the day
Gay Mormons will say, Flip 'em if they can't
take a joke (spoken)
Hallelujah! (sung)

(To the tune of "Day Tripper")

Got a good reason,
For thinkin' it's time to get out
Got a good reason,
For thinkin' it's time to get out now
He was a gay Mormon
Sunday swisher, yeah
It look him so long—to come out
But he came out

She's a sweet spirit,
Tried to fit in all her life.
She's a sweet spirit,
With a crush on the 1st counselor's wife.
She was a gay Mormon,
She made the Mia maids
It took her so long—to come out
She came out

Had a companion,
He took him half the way there
Had a companion,
He took him half the way there now
He was a gay Mormon
A boy scout recruit, yeah
It took him so long—to come out
He came out

Bridge

Tried to please them,
Confess that you're thoughts are unclean
Tried to please them,
They'll send you to Evergreen
"You're not a gay Mormon,
Play some basketball!"
But they were so wrong
You came out, you'll stay out.
