Free At Last: AKA Liberation Day

You took quite a chance by coming out, Neil.
Homophobia isn't going away any time soon.
They want to pull you back. Control how you feel.
Don't let them. Don't be afraid to play your own tune.

 Though lot of your friends will be relieved.
Life won't be easy. Just hold your head high.
Knowing some idiots will feel quite deceived.
You'll see your new inner peace reach the sky.

 I knew a young man I worked with last year,
Was determined that he could turn himself straight.
I know all about the trepidation and fear
But, let me tell you--You'll be consumed by self-hate.

Eventually, living a sham will get the better of you.
You'll be tired and depressed from playing a part.
Believe me, I know very well what all this can do.
Discarding a life of deception's a good start.

First off, I'd like to know what all you Pet Shop Boys think about me writing a novel based on their lives and careers. It is written in novel form, which means it's a work of fiction and not some ill-conceived attempt at exploitation. That means that it is the furthest thing from my mind to capitalize on two incredible musicians who've been dealt a raw deal with regard to being harshly judged for their sexuality, particularly in America and to a lesser degree, Australia. This has irked all of us for a very long time, because to shut out an extraordinarily talented duo of singer/songwriters is a damn shame. I live in Canada, where we are much more liberal in our thoughts and opinions of homosexuality, but unfortunately, because we live next door to the United States OF America, we get wrapped up in their odd dogma, what with worshiping the gun culture and allowing school shootings to become the norm rather than the exception, but then Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a br

Who Cares? A Poem

Who cares what your sexuality is? It's nobody's business but yours. Yet in the shallow  world of show biz Homophobia and ignorance soars. I don't like to talk about stuff such as this. But the world seems to be quite obsessed. Folks need to stop wondering just who to kiss. It's nobody's business, I will always attest. Morality's really just one lonely word. Those who extol its virtues are blind. We all have our choices--haven't you heard? Just reach out with love and remain warm and kind. The Pet Shop Boys don't worry about all these things At least that's the impression I get. They live and love and enjoy what that brings. They've obviously found love, I'm willing to bet. So just worry about your own affairs, why don't you. The world will keep turning and the sun will still shine Do you know that expression; "To thine self be true?" To choose is a right and self-love is all mine.
