And for the sake of today,
Don’t make me say it softer
Like I should be ashamed.
I want to say that I’m gay
But I’m still your friend,
So these laws I will bend”
I am tired, of “Hate the sin,
I go red in the face and you ask,
Because how could I tell you,
When you say “Ew” every time
There’s a man and a man, holding hands,
“I don’t believe in that,”
Like it’s some kind of religion.
Like YOU have a right to an opinion.
I want to say that I’m gay
Like I’m something to gawk at.
You say you’d rather dress in the toilets
And you think I’ve no respect,
You think I would look at you
Like you’re some kind of object,
Like the only thing I want to do is fuck your brains out,
I just wanna get dressed.
Please just let me get dressed.
--Danny S, Let Me Say, “I’m Gay.”
