You are gay, you tell me
You say you see it when I work my hips
You see it when my lips move every time you talk
You’re very gay, you say
When I dress up to take a walk
When I curl up altogether in my sleep
You see it when my friends are all guys
You see it when they have their arms around my shoulders and talk in quiet tones
You see it in the way I write
The way my books are arranged
The way I have footwear in hundreds
The way I’m particular about your choice of words
You’re so gay, you tell me
*
You. Are. Gay.
I’ve heard these all my life
Hated myself for it
Slurs from minds that fail to paddle their canoes of ignorance
And let me lounge in my closet
I am Gay.
I’ve stepped out with the rainbow as my backdrop
From the captivity of those laws
Which kept me in the towers of homophobic castles
Under the guise of culture, religion and unchangeable idiosyncrasies
I am Gay
Happy and wild
He who God has made and called Beautiful
You take away my freedom
You build my tomb before my demise
You make me scream in loud whispers
You dim the vibrancy of my rainbow colours
You leave me shredded, your whips and chains against my skin
And through it all
I will tend to my wounds and take pride in my scars
I will grasp tighter the memories that make me who I am
And flaunt all the features that capture what I’ve been through
And how strong I am for coming out for it
You are gay, you tell me
Yes I am. I am gay
Happy and wild
He who God has made and called Beautiful

Sweetheart. Drinking fanta is seen as being gay … By all means, let the homophobes continue to fan their ignorance!
It shouldn’t concern us what they “popularly” assume! *all wrong though*
… And we also key into the stereotypes! #sigh!!!
Do u by any chance also carry two 25litre kegs at once???
LOL.
Drinking Fanta is seen as gay?! Lmao…no wonder I’m so stuck on that soft drink! Hmmm
Hahahahha
Okoro, chai
Shift biko, lemme see road.
Hieeee,
Hola senor.
Oh you need to see the kinda cross some homophobes carry. Timi
And I bet you haven’t been accosted with something like…
“You speak so well, are you gay?”
Just before sch went on festive hols, a female course mate was soliciting for support for my departmental marathon. I beckoned to her and as she was approaching I flashed her a toothy grin and know what she said next.
“Why are you sunny your teeth? Abi you be gay?”. It took the whole of my self control and straight Po-ROM not to bitch slap her there and then. Let’s just say my mood went sour for the whole day.
So yes! They do have crosses and they rub it in our faces to show how stupid and smudgy their bloated brain can get.
*My department’s end of year Marathon Race.
*sunning.
Apologies, My bad.
LOL!!! As if I even love love the fanta… All these stereotypes een…
Me I do o.
WOW!!! I read poetry…
Wait a minute anyway, am I mistaken, or isn’t it popularly thought that guys (especially feminine ones) who love female company are more prone to be seen as gay???
My sweet Vhar.
Have a Vhar Vhar Voomie 2016.
I’m gay, but people can barely tell. I’m even surprised I’m gay and bottom…lolx. This is because I’m not the stereotypical depiction of gay men. Love sports, not too into fashion, but dress well and so many opposite stuffs the media try to depict gay men as.
KD’s theme this year appears to be the exhortation for KDians to push their boundaries. 😀 I like. ????
Happy New Year Vhar.
Vhar, I see you.
You’re Gay.
Yes I am. Anything else you wanna tell me?.
“I will tend to my wounds and take pride in my scars” I’d just take this line and run with it. Thanks Vhar for such beauty this early.
Happy New year KDville. Together I know we will soar high.
Absolutely Beautiful…
THANKS A LOT VHAR…
GREAT POETRY TO START THE YEAR WITH…
Yesterday, a family friend saw me and told my sister that my mother had two daughters and no son because she felt I was catwalking. I was surprised when my sister said, “Babe, are you drunk? He’s walking like he always has”. Guess what I’m saying is, ain’t no more apologies. I am Gay and Proud! Thanks for this one Vhar
Great piece Vhar.
We all should be comfortable in our own skin … No apologies. No looking behind to see who’s looking! #sigh it is so exhausting, I shall not subscribe to that this year at all.
Hello Masked Man!
Hey Sister Gurl!!! Happy New Year
*dancing into the New Year singing Nicki Minaj’s Va Va, no, Vhar Vhar Voom*
