with supreme contempt

True I was once a homophobe
raised on tales of men in priestly robes
and by my own lack of common sense
but then it is verily my only defense
that when to such beliefs I clung
I was as naïve as I was young
but time set my ideas straight
love is love and that’s what’s great
but what to say of these gentlemen
and the poison in their pens
when you’re as educated as you’re old
what’s the excuse for a heart so cold?
for it’s bad enough to bear a grudge
but so much worse to maim and judge.
