No.
It is not ok with me to say that.
Gay is not a synonym for stupid.
Gay is not an insult, and I will not allow you to use it like one.
It is because of people like you
That our society is intolerant, ignorant, and unforgiving.
It is because of people like you
That our society revolves around the chauvinistic cult
That men are not manly if they don’t show preference
For a butts and **** attached
To a brainless body.
It is because of people like you
That hundreds of tormented, depressed teens attempt suicide
Every year.
It is because of people like you
That many succeed.
It is because of you
That one of my best friends is addicted to drugs
Struggling with alcoholism
And self-loathing
Because he can’t admit to himself
That he might be gay.
So no.
It is not ok with me.
That you are openly homophobic.
Because what if I were gay?
With my pretty face and big *****
Would you treat me differently?
Would you still joke around and flirt?
Because in the end,
Homophobia is the same thing as
Xenophobia
Racism
And sexism.
And the only thing that separates you
And the openly gay boy that you
Hate so much
is that he has strength to go against the
very tide
that has swept you and morals away.

8 months ago,
it did not seem like we needed drugs
and alcohol
to have fun.
And suddenly,
there was everything
we had heard about from
everyone else.
But instead of in the whispered gossip
and the disjointed stumblings of drunken dreams
it was right in front of us.
And so the straightedge in us
was bent
with every shot glass
with every smoking joint
that we brought to our anxious lips.
Slowly, hesitantly, at first,
our arms creaked upwards towards our open mouths,
as if we were training muscles,
we didn’t even know we had.
But then it became familiar,
and our elbows flowed smoothly with the oil
of routine.
And at sometime during those long and blurred nights,
I lost track of what was right
and what was wrong.
With every sip I drowned my values
and with every inhale, I cremated my former self
and the white smoke of the fire
wisped up into the air of a dimly lit garage.
Until all I was left with was the present,
wondering where the future would take me.
