Gay Troubles …… [sexual preference; bigotry? ; name-calling, etc.; VERY short]
Kick me in my face,
Call me a disgrace,
Put me in my place,
Just ‘cause I wear lace?
You homophobic scum!
(Feb.2013)
Sorry but I think I may just offend but four things trouble me about this poem 1) Do gay men wear lace? Terrible stereotyping 2) Why would anyone think your gay for writing about it and why did you feel the need to say your not gay? 3) Is being gay a problem and if so for who? Many gay people don't have a problem being gay 4) Is this poem inverted bigotry itself? I'm not sure why you wrote it. You say you find nothing objectionable about gay people yet I, sorry to say, find the poem just that. Oh and I am gay and don't find it an inconvenience. BB
Paul, I HOPE I answered your comment sufficiently before you departed for another site. I can understand your comment ((I believe) and hope you can believe I'm sincere in my poem. bri
All people should be free to love and be loved. That is it. Life is short and a life without love is a lesser existence.

Paul and other readers, I'm imagining how SOME gay guys and other 'other-gender' readers might react to a gender-bigot. Believe me, PLEASE, I am NOT ONE, ...a bigot I mean. ;) bri
