J" It will be magic

To watch your transformation

J" When you realise that you've been had

J" It's enough to make a guy

Like me feel sad J"

Yes, Sister.

J" 'Cause you tell me that

Jesus, he hates fruit loops, son

J" We told you that when you were young

J" Or pretty much anything you want him to

J" Like sitcoms, paedophiles and kangaroos

J" Morons who cut in line

J" Three-bean salad and parking fines

J" And when we win this war on society

J" I hope your blind eyes

will be opened and you'll see

J" The arrogance it takes to walk

J" Around in the world the way you do

J" It turns my brain to jelly every time

J" The rage and fear I'm feeling

Have begun to make me sick

J" And I think that

I might be about to commit a crime

J" And you tell me that

Jesus, he hates homos, son

J" We told you that when you were young J"

Men?

You look like a couple of queers!

Ah, don't take any notice

of what Dot said.

I tell you,

she had me worried for a minute.

Just because our Arthur's marriage

hasn't gone right yet,

you've no call

to talk about him being queer.

It's ridiculous!

Ain't it?

(Screams)

No!

Suppose there was.

Is that something to get at a lad for?

Well, it's not normal, is it?

Where you going?

To get a refill for my lipstick.

O Father, give me your blessing.

It is three weeks since my last confession.

And I accuse myself

of dishonouring my parents, many times.

J" 'Cause Jesus, He hates faggots, son

J" We told you that when you were young

J" Or pretty much anyone you want him to

S' Like n*ggers, spies, redskins and kikes S'

I don't know what's the matter with you.

You ain't normal!

- Aren't we getting off the subject?

- Shut up!

J" And when we win the war on society

J" I hope your blind eyes will be opened

And you'll see J"

Nature would've done it.

A father should help a lad like that,

not turn on him like the mob would

when it sees somebody different.

(Reporter) When in the end,

the penny dropped, how did you react?

With relief more than anything.

Relief that knowing,

of being certain at last,

what I was and how I fitted in.

I think uncertainty,

not knowing what you are,

not knowing how you fit into society,

this is the worst thing of all.

(Reporter)

The mother of one of the lesbians

who's appeared in this programme

told me how she discovered

that her daughter was homosexual.

How did you react at the time?

What did you feel?

Well, at first, terrific shock.

And fear, to a certain extent.

Not for ourselves and not for...

What people would think, really,

but fear for her,

what she'd have to face

in her future life.

I think that was the worst part about it.

A minority of lesbians

can be recognised as such.
