How Gay

by Shayla R Cakes

Next time you call someone gay
Remember what that word's supposed to say
Happy's the meaning behind the word
So using it as an insult is quite absurd
"So they say you're gay" he cackles
"Yes I am" she says
"You like girls?" he says, sounding baffled
"Sure I do, but I'm happy, you shithead"

Lots of pride for who they are
Lots of spirit for what they be
Makes you step back and connect the dots
For the gay people I know are the happiest around me.

haha, cute. if i ever hear someone using 'that's so gay' as an insult, i just walk up to them and say 'wow, that comment was so straight...'. nobody ever gets it, it's sad.

Fabulous.. I'm bisexual myself and I find it quite offensive when people use the word "gay" so freely.
