That's so gay
When we think about the freedoms
our ancestors thought for,
the cracking of the great enigma.
Futile hopes soaked in apple-core tears
crashing like a faulty application.
Remember, that's so gay.
When you websling like Spidey
page to page.
From songs on YouTube,
to memes about Derp...
remember his hurt.
Remember, that's so gay.
If literature excites you,
if language delights you.
If joy burns like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
as you turn pages both paper and digital.
Rejoice!
Remember, that's so gay.
Think of the first British man
to excel at basketball
across the Atlantic
where he'd go to play
in the NBA.
Remember, that's so gay.
Whether you're a Whovie
finding time-space so groovy.
Or one who finds humour so merry
when Barney exhales and says
legend *wait for it* dary!
Remember, that's so gay.
Whether you're the class clown,
a sporting stand out,
geeky, musical, artistic
or finding your way
some amongst you may be gay.
Remember, that's ok.

Funny.
'That's so gay' was a phrase abused for years by school kids up and down the country in the 90s as another meaning for lame or naff.
Good efforts to reclaim it.
