“Men Are So Gay”
I tried telling a friend
“Men are so gay
Everything y’all do is so gay
All of it— gay”
And he was like
“You know— I’m gay now—
What are they doing to you
That is gay? What part of this
“Gayness” is about
Two men having sex—“
But how can I explain I mean
As a woman—
If you say things like
“Women are better than men
At everything, it’s not my opinion—
It’s a fact”
The way
Soooooo many men say
As a default
You are in fact
Guaranteed
To be accused of being
A lesbian, a feminist, a man hater
You certainly won’t be
The default thinker in the room and
The majority of people
Who feel the same way as you
Are in fact
Radical ish lesbians
So again,
Why is it gay?
I guess
From a born woman’s perspective
It’s gay because of context, and mostly just
By comparison.
