(we had an open-ended final project in my LGBT studies class and I, fool that I am, decided to do a whole ass comic)

ladies, in order to experience the rewards of being loved (making out with hot girls), we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known (message them first on tinder)

Poem for the Club Kids

for the young divine deluxe queens with grand affectations house music working magic in your fingers that ferociously snap and legs that kickbox with flair

for the snaps that don’t give a fuck about phobic stares from errant irrelevants (people?) traveling southward on the west side highway ogling at the christopher st. zoo

for the polka dots and the piers and the kente cloth and the bright colors and the big straw hats and the sandals and the purses and the highest hosanna-in-the-highest most-empowered high top fades

don’t let them tell you what you are or what you ain’t fierceness is an obliterating stratagem you are the light-bearing post-stonewall divas
