Day 31: Ode To Homosexuality

Ugh, 31 days in and BAM! Writer’s block. I really struggled with this one.

In the end I went with a Big Tent prompt to write an ode to something in nature that I love.

I wasn’t in the mood for the majesty of great oaks or the delicate eyelashes of the dormouse, but I thought ‘hey, homosexuality’s natural!

herewith a ridiculous ode to homosexuality. Enjoy!

To thee I sing, o homosexuality!
That urge to fornicate with your own gender.
A thing of grace and beauty – in reality
It’s natural, and should really not offend or
Frighten anyone.  It’s just a fallacy
That straights can be converted by a bender.

I sing to thee, o dyke and bi and bender!
Ye bastions of homosexuality!
Ye men who would prefer a bit of phallus, ye,
O ladies with a lesbian agenda!
Your preference doesn’t make you an offender.
It makes you part of glorious reality!

It isn’t very easy, in reality,
To cope with being called a “filthy bender”
Religion’s a particular offender
For demonizing homosexuality
As if morality were linked to gender
When anyone can see how that’s a fallacy

You say I am unnatural? what fallacy!
It’s part of my – of all of our – reality.
But everybody’s so hung up on gender,
And scared of being labeled as a bender.
You scare people, O homosexuality!
The mum whose daughter’s  girlfriends all offend her,

The violent, homophobic young offender,
the teacher who thinks gay rights are a fallacy,
The preacher damning homosexuality,
They’re all mistaken. That’s not the reality!
It’s just as natural to be a bender.
As being heterosexual. Oh, and gender?

Who cares how you identify your gender?
Why should transsexuality offend a
Lesbian, bisexual or a bender?
To say we’re all so different’s a fallacy.
We’re all just human, that is the reality
To thee I sing, o homosexuality.

I am a bender with a gay agenda
homosexuality is no offender.
And fallacy confuses the reality.
