I'm gay.

My dad is not pleased with this fact. Completely homophobic.

Half the time his homophobia doesn't even make sense.

>Me: "It doesn't feel like too long when you're out there"
>Dad: "Time flies when you're a faggot."
>Go to my room

It's getting ridiculous. He goes out of his way to respond to everything I do by calling me a fag.

Such a weird thing to say. You can be the gayest gaylorld, but don't let me find out.

Conservative rural Christianity. It's fine to be gay as long as no one ever knows about it.

Once saw something saying that all of the Christian "it's fine if you want to choose to be gay, just don't do it in my face" rhetoric is code for:

"you should be ashamed of being gay, because bring gay is a sin. You should commit sin hidden behind closed doors just like we do, when our priests grope children and husbands cheat on their wives."

Turn it off, like a light switch

There, it's gone

My hetero side just won

I'm all better now

Boys should be with girls, that's Heavenly Father's plan

So if you ever feel you'd rather be with a man,

Turn it off!

"Well, I think it's okay that you're having gay thoughts, just so long as you never act on them"

No, 'cause then you're just keeping it down

Like a dimmer switch on low, thinking nobody needs to know

But that's not true!

Being gay is bad but lying is worse

So just realize you have a curable curse,

And turn it off!

Absolutely chilling. The best kind of comedy.
