Gay Man Poem by Ramona Thompson

Rewrite of Cher's classic song, Main Man

Written by me, a straight woman trying to capture a gay man's point of view

Oh yes it's true
I'm a gay man
24/7 love to go porno surfin' and fudge packin'
No matter if you accept it or not, mom and dad
I'm still gonna stand my ground
Might even make out with my boyfriend
Right in front of you
When you come around
'Cause I'm a proud gay man
That's what soon I want you and the whole world to be knowin'
Even if you say it brings shame to our good family name
I'm still gonna be coming out out of the closet tonight
Refusing to take on any of your blame

Chorus

Oh yes it's true I am a gay man
Got no interest at all in women
Oh, 'cause I'm a gay man
No, not a bi man
I'm a gay man
One who loves to get it on with other guys
Proudly
Forever

Yeah, I'm a gay man
Ain't gonna be swayed or go changin' by no amount of prayin' or female sexin'
'Cause another guy's candle is the thing that can inflame my love
That's why I'm out here tonight
With my boyfriend cruising the street
For an anal angel sent from above

Chorus

Ain't gonna be swayed or go changin' by no amount of prayin' or female sexin'
'Cause another guy's candle is the thing that can inflame my love
Ain't gonna switch me over to that other side, mon and dad
No matter how much you go tryin' or cryin'

Chorus to fade
