What does it mean to be gay
So many answers one can give
How you act, how you talk, how you dress
Perhaps it’s the way that you live
There is no one answer that fits the bill
“Gay” has many facets, like a gem
And each person that you ask
Will give an answer that suits them
“Gay” is showy, with lamé and boas
Shaking their ass in a parade
“gay” is the carpenter building a house
Using his hands for his trade
“gay” is the banker in a button down shirt
Working in the corporate setting
“gay” is the person working out in the gym
Doing is reps and is sweating
“gay” is the drag queen up there on the stage
Putting his heart and soul into the show
“gay” is the farmer in his jeans and boots
Planting crops after the snow
“gay” are the ones who are dressed to the ‘nines’
Ready to party all night
“gay” is the one who finished cleaning his house
On the couch, with his partner to his right
Every person you ask will give a reply
That they base on the experience they know
And each answer you get, it will be correct
So I guess that this just goes to show
No one definition can fit the answer
And ya know what, that’s fine, it’s okay
So the next time someone should ask that question
Look up and smile and say “I’m what it means to be gay.”
