Sandy Rapp - Legislator Postal

Legislator Postal on our Side © Sandy Rapp 2004

I knew her from the old days in the Suffolk County halls,
She was Legislator Postal on our side.
She'd walk in through the lobby doors I'd see her and I'd know
That soon or later things would come out right.

We were in a sea of antigays, their Bibles raised on high
Through the hearings and the votings and the days.
She walked with Rich Amato through the posters and the prayers
And she stood amongst the feminists and gays.

Chorus:
We were Drag Queen and Latina we were Black we were Gay
We were Jew we were Gentile we were Jain.
She was always down to business she was always up to game
She was proud to be among us on our way.

She got us through a gay bill back in 1988.
And she backed domestic partners all along.
A friend to each minority, a hand to every need,
She fought for rights and reason on and on.

Repeat Chorus

One fine day in Outlook, they interviewed Maxine,
It was for a Gay Long Island magazine.
And she spelled it out for all the world how glad she was to be
Considered part of every group in need.

Final Chorus:
She said: I am Drag Queen and Latina I am Black I am Gay
I am Jew I am Gentile I am Jain.
I am always down to business I am always up to game
And I'm proud to be among you on your way.
I am proud to be among you on your way.
