   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.
