You asked me
“Do you liiiike him?”
No.
Stop.
Right.
There.
Stop for just a second
And realize how
Inappropriate
That question is.
And how unlikely it is
That I will answer “yes”
Considering that I am
Openly gay.
Come on.
Seriously?
I expected better from you.

You tell me
“But I was just kidding…”
Haha, very funny. 
Do you know how much
“Just kidding”
Can hurt when
So many people ask me
“Do you liiike him?”
On a daily basis
And they’re not kidding? 
They’re serious. 
They’re erasing my sexuality because
I’m in the minority. 
And they’re not kidding. 
So no,
Don’t joke with me about that. 
Ever.
