I think that the song is not so much just about two girls, but really any two gay people, men or women, who have found that they are in love with someone else, and who fear what others will think. I always thought the song said "to BEAR the shame of this whole earth." this makes sense b/c they feel afraid and sad that everyone thinks that their love is wrong.
