You Calm Me Down


You Calm Me Down
You set me straight
You give perspective
When I make a mistake
You tell me point blank
I have incredible stories
You want to believe them
You love me
That's not how beliefs work
You can't choose them
They are thrust upon you
Like our love
When I step over the limit
You pull me from the edge
Quietly in your arms
You hold me
You Calm Me Down
Of all the mistakes I make
You're not one of them
You set me straight
You Calm Me Down.

No gay roles for actual gays

Image
Straight actor plays a gay role. The in-depth discussion reveals strange realities.  (A) Theater & Hollywood are full of gay people. Yet somehow only straight people can be found for gay roles. James Sutton is to be commended for not expressing contempt at gay men. (B) Nostalgia for the bad times of the past. The narrative is that gay life has improved since 2007 when John Paul kissed Craig. That's a false narrative. The gay & lesbian community (LG) now includes straight people (BTQ+). So straights have taken over gay spaces & diluted their gayness. Gay bars have disappeared since European countries became Muslim. Gay life is more dangerous than ever. And straight people don't understand. They don't feel it. Also many political gays are blinded to the everyday reality of gay people. First kiss John Paul & Craig 2007.

He thinks you're the hottest person at the venue. You reject him because he's looking for a relationship; the thing you say you're looking for. WARNING stay clear of this  confused person.

You pass Inspection

Your mom won't accept you as gay. If you die in the ghetto, it means nothing. If you die in uniform, it means something to someone somewhere. So you join the Marine Corps. Your fellow recruits discover you're gay when they see your ERECTION in the communal shower. You're beat up & ostracized. But you hang in there. Slowly other trainees start to defend you.  One of the drill sergeants takes up for you when the other instructors join the gay taunting & mistreatment. You misinterpret that as your drill sergeant is secretly gay. Maybe. In the final field exercise, you follow him into the shower. You make a pass. He didn't help you because you're gay. He helped you because it's his job to help recruits. You are not the first gay Marine. Your ghetto mom shows up to Basic Training graduation. She forgets you're gay. When reminded, she makes a scene in the dining hall & calls you out as gay. The crowd chant their support for you. Your mom regrets she di...
