Does it Matter

A frequent and knowledgeable poster on a Forum I am a member of recently posted this on the board. I loved it so much I wanted to reprint it here. (p.s. thanks Moffie!)

My father asked me if I am gay.
I said, "“Does it matter?"
He said, No, not really.
I told him Yes
He said, “Get out of my life!
I guess it mattered.

My boss asked me if I am Gay.
I said, Does it matter?
He said, “No, not really.
I told him, Yes.
He said, “You a’re fired!
I guess it mattered.

My friend asked me if I am Gay.
I said, “Does it matter?
He said, No not really.
I told him, Yes
He said, “Don'’t call me your friend!
I guess it mattered.

My lover asked me, “Do you love me?
I said, Does it matter?
He said, “Yes
I told him, “I love you so much!
He said, Let me hold you in my arms.
For the first time in my life,
Something matters.

My God/dess asked me, Do you love yourself?
I said, Does it matter?
They said, Yes
I asked, How can I love myself?, I am Gay?”
They said, “That is the way we made you.
NOTHING AGAIN WILL EVER MATTER!

RIP QAF

Whether you liked it or not, QAF was a groundbreaking show. There had never been anything like it on television. I definitely am in the "loved it" camp. I am truly sad to see it go. I got so annoyed with the nay-sayers out there. "That doesn't represent me"...bullshit. We all know an Emmet or a Ted or a Ben. And I can guarantee we all know a Brian...the gay community is full of Brians. I think the people that didn't like the show felt that way because it was too much a mirror to themselves. Was it perfect? Of course not. It still is Hollywood and still had to be entertaining and titillating. That being said, this is one of the few shows out there that I really got into. And I got teary-eyed as Sunday's show came to a close. Does that make me an emotional putz? Maybe, but I wouldn't want to be any other way. :)

Hmmm, I dunno if I agree with either one....

And they say we don't need stricter gun laws? Sure, this guy had a valid license for his gun, but what would have happend if he hadn't had it at all? Maybe he would have still gone back, perhaps fought the guy hand to hand or with a knife, either way would have given the other guy a fighting chance. And imagine the damage done to that baby! Sure, most of us don't remember things from when we are 10 months old, but you can't tell me this didn't have some lasting impact on that poor child.

Just for Fun

I found this neat site on an online buddy's blog. So thought I would put on my Favourite Madonna song. *warning* it's one of her dirty ones. ;)

*Update: for some reason my track keeps changing, oh well..it was fun at the time..lol*
