Being gay...
I grew up knowing that the word GAY means happy... and all through out my childhood I know I am happy. when the times comes and I need to choose who I would like me to be... I never thought that the complicated 3 letter word would best describe me...
When you think about it... a persons happy during his childhood and when the person turns out to be gay... a certain point of that persons life is clouded in confusion...became complicated. When did the G-A-Y word became so complicated that it does not symbolizes any hint of happiness... A negative connotation to a "HAPPY" word.
Being gay, has its ups and downs... Yes some of us are loud, some the quiet type and some are just in the middle... neither top or bottom (pun intended) but NEVER did I realized that being gay can be UN-GAY for some.
Yes I agree its a choice between what the society dictates and what the persons heart feels... Coco Channel used materials that were never used for clothing to make her clothes cheap and wearable during the war. Society disregarded her for sometime but Coco made it... she -inch by inch- moved up the social ladder and at some point dictated what is wearable or not. So when will the word GAY means happy again... I may never live to know.
Yes I choose to be like this.. No pretense,no mask and no armor... I'm vulnerable to what society dictates me to be... but nevertheless I am Happy to be me. It is just a label, a label that may offend or compliment a person... so I said... "So what, Yes I am Gay... whether you mean happy or not...I AM BOTH"
Just be GAY... I mean MERRY or HAPPY... and as Mariah once said... "Everythings gonna be alry't" in her high pitch voice and smiling like she does not care.
