Does It Matter? My father asked me if I am gay I asked Does it matter? He said No not really I said Yes He said get out of my life I guess it mattered My boss asked me if I am gay I asked Does it matter? He said No, not really I told him Yes. He said You're fired, faggot. I guess it mattered A friend asked if I am gay I said Does it matter He said, Not really. I told him Yes. He said Don't call me your friend I guess it mattered My lover asked Do you love me? I asked Does it matter? He said Yes. I told him I love you He said Let me hold you in my arms For the first time in my life something matters. My God asked me Do you love yourself? I said Does it matter? He said Yes. I said How can I love myself? I am gay He said That is the way I made you Nothing again will ever matter. -- written by an anonymous teenager posted to soc.support.youth.gay-lesbian-bi on Wed, 21 June 1995 by Chris M. Hassett
