Homophobes. Smart people, huh?

If, in crossing, I hear the word "faggot" again
I'm politely suggesting you learn synonyms
Fair enough, I like women, okay?
But that doesn't make it my only forte
So look at that; God hasn't smote me
but punished you, and made you lonely
So please, before telling me God told you so
let's take a look at what else you know-
freedom of speech, freedom of press
for us, freedom to be a man in a dress
You'd think God would pardon what isn't a sin
if people like you would stop bothering him.
Gay? Yes, I am, but I'm also smarter
cultured, well-read, kind hearted
(and hotter).
The simple fact is that we haven't wronged you once
the simplest fact is that you're acting like a dunce
if one ends up in jail or divorced someday
it's due to just messing up- NOT being gay.

Author notes

Homophobes need to look at some facts: We haven't wronged you, we are often more cultured and more intelligent than you, and if we have gone down the wrong path in life, it's because we messed up- not because we're gay.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    provocative!

    Well...there WAS that time the giant ummm...copy of a portion of the male anatomy sailed past my head and nearly took off an ear.Other thanthat, no, I have not been injured by gays (although I HAVE been a bit nervous every time I eat spaghetti since then, probably because that's what I was eating when the flying salami whanged past my ear). Sorry...yes, i'm being a smartass but it IS a true story!

    Interesting perspective here though, great inrony to insinuate it's a mistake to NOT be gay!

    Feel free to bash the homophobes all you want but I don't think they'll really get it, do you? After all..they think it's their business somehow ????

    It sucks being judged, and you convey your message quite well in this poem. Well written, with great form. You paint the picture well.

    lol

    Hell I know some guys that did time in the can. Not a pretty picture had most painted. A lot of them become GAY while in there. So who knows. We should just let each be perhaps.

    I totally agree: people look at what they think is wrong and thing worse of them when they mess up, what they wont acknowledge is that people who they find normal (Catholics for example) also do they same things. It's not because of ones preferences it is merely being human and free will - which God gave us ( if you believe in God). Pretty much Well written, I really enjoyed it and it is very well worded.

  • congratulations for a well written poem. good luck with the contest. acceptance is always the right answer. thanks for sharing. peace and light always in ALL ways, kp
