(With apologies to the Beatles)

Michele, our belle,
Thinks that gays will all be sent to hell.
That’s Michele.

Michele, our belle,
Thinks they’re sick but could be made all well.
Yes, Michele.

She just needs to turn them toward Jesus.
They’re going through a phase
That leads to filthy ways.
But with her hubby’s help these guys could
All be John Wayne.

Michele, our belle,
Views you have are suiting us just swell.
Our Michele.

* Yiddish version (sung with schutzpah) titled “We Kvell, Michele.”

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
