You Taught Me How To Love

I thought I knew what I was doing 
Way back when I met you
I was a fool so irrational 
My speech not so factual 
You taught me how to love 

All the while you kept saying 
I was teaching you
You learned from the best
Naked passion with abandon 
My gift was articulation 
It's like I was reading your mind 
No. I was reading your body
And telling our love story 
Saying out loud why we're so proud 
Already I knew how to build trust
You taught me how to love 

I thought I knew what I was doing 
Every night I ended up cruising 
One-night-stands. Worrisome hookups
Body parts & empty hearts 
I gave all that up
When by chance I met you
You were my rescue from fake & casual 
My behavior was irrational 
Rarely was anything meaningful 

I gave all that up
You Taught Me How To Love.

No gay roles for actual gays

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.

Rejects what he's looking for

Image
Resting bitch face is a blessing? No it's not. You complain nobody tries to pick you up. Yet people flirt with you all the time. So at the bar, you hit on a guy. 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.

Meddling mother means well

Image
Dad: What gives you a boner? Son: I'm 17. Everything gives me a boner. Your mom means well. She thinks you're gay. You think so too. Until mom steals your identity & applies for an LGBT scholarship to pay for your college. Now the entire school thinks you're gay. And straight girls are suddenly super-attracted to you. So you start to doubt your gayness. You're a virgin. So you don't really know. Lucky for you, bi-questioning counts as gay. "Helicopter Mom" (2014) on Tubi & other platforms. TV-14.
