Dear straight people

“Dear straight people”

Dear straight people
Why do I make you so damn uncomfortable?
Why do you have to make it so obvious that your uncomfortable?
Did you know that makes me uncomfortable?

Now were both uncomfortable

Dear straight people
You are the reason we are in the closet
I don’t like closets I think there creepy
But we stay there because you make the living room an unsafe space
And then it feels like I’m a guest in my own house

Dear straight people
Gender and sexuality are two totally different things
They are combined in many ways
If you mis match your socks you understand

Dear hip hop
Why the obsession with new gay rappers?
So what gay people rap
Just like they ride bikes and eat tofu
Dear straight people
I don’t think that god has a sexual orientation but if she did
She would be a freaking awesome ally
If she wasn’t why would she create rainbows
Or make gays so damn cute

Dear straight women
I mean “straight women”
Leave me the fuck alone

Dear straight men
If I’m flirting with you its because I think its funny
Just laugh

Dear straight people
I’m sick of proving my “phase” or “confusion” is real
So, I’m reversing the questions
when did you know you were straight?
How do you know its not a phase?
Why are you choosing to be straight?
Did it happen because your parents are divorced?
Did it happen because your parents aren’t divorced?

Dear straight people
Why do I have to prove that my love is real?
Why do I have to prove that my love is real?
Why do I have to prove that my love is real?
Why do I have to prove that my love is real?
Why do you have to stare when I hold my girlfriends’ hand in public like I’m bout to rob you?

Dear straight people
You make me want to fucking rob you

Dear straight ally’s
Thank you more please

Dear straight bully’s
Your right we don’t have the same values
I think we should support everybody no matter what
You think we should judge people based on who they want to bang

Dear teachers
You say you care but we know you don’t
You don’t care about the hundreds of students alienated between school walls
You don’t care about the 3 gay kids in your math class planning their deaths as you teach algebra
You don’t care about the thousands of students that think of the after life as an after party because they were driven to death by your other students
You don’t care about the kids that cry out for help that you ignore
All you care about is getting your check every 2 weeks

Dear little queer girl
I see you
You don’t want them to see you so you change the pronouns in your love poems
From her to him
I used to do that

Dear straight people
You make young poets make bad edits

Dear straight people
Why do you get so damn offended when I kiss my girlfriend in public?
Because its “unnatural”?
Or because your jealous because were happy together and your lonely living in your moms basement?

Dear straight people
I actually don’t give a shit because were happy and you can’t change that
