My name is Dan, and because of you,
I walk with my head down, ashamed to look people in the eye.
My name is Dan, and because of you,
I cannot be free to be who I am, and every time I have to lie.

I 'love' the poem for what it says and how Dan says/writes it, including the fine rhyming. : ) ***** And to my favorites.
Horrible. you are not gay you are just confused and have not found the right woman yet.
Kimberly, ARE you THE 'right woman'? ? ? How and why do you think so, if 'you are'? ?
Actually, it wouldn't surprise me either way, if the poem is or is not a joke. It would not be the first 'joke' poem on PH. I've written a few myself. : ) bri
1 – I am " straight" , though after 2 divorces (from a women) i 'thought': " maybe i should try men? " No, i don't think so. But send good wishes to LGBT as i would to those who are otherwise. And i'd try to treat people as they " should" be treated [[deserve to be treated? ]] no matter their preference in 'sexual partners'. I do NOT say to be " proud" , as my friend Paul Brookes said below.
Hey, Brian, I wondered when I might find a comment from you (meanig ME) . ;) BRI
You tell it as it is and I have been there every step of the way I wish i could say it gets beter but we all know we have to quicker better cleverer to get where we want to be so I say hold up your head and be proud to be Gay
Paul, I miss you on PH, but.................not THAT way! ! ! : ))))) I hope my friend Paul is doing well. bri : )
Are you kidding me? It's someone else's fault that Dan is sad! I get that you're gay, Dan (you've made that abundantly clear) , but at least be a man about it, and quit trying to blame me for your unhappiness. This poem is embarrassing to read, and the comments are embarrassing too. You all shouldn't be encouraging Dan's crybaby complaining- you're just enabling him. Dan, hopefully you're still young and can buck-up and take responsibility for yourself, act like a man (a gay man) - someone we can all be inspired by and not feel pity for.
Why would yo say this you son of a b! tch what are you 69 years old or something you dumb
you have a problem with being gay or something why are you homosexual
Tim, I don't know what Dan has experienced in his life, but I'd not be a bit surprised if Dan, like I'm sure many (not all) 'LGBT-etc.' people have, has suffered 'through no fault of his own', if it is a fault of ANYONE, for how he feels about his sexual preference. : (
Hey Dan! I'm a really stright guy but I really like your poem, I have a friend who is also gay but I never minded it, I think gay people are very courageous and friendly...though how much I like ya'll, I still ain't changing sides... :) A big 10 for you!
'Right on! ' for your comment, but I'M SURE that, like 'not-gay' people, NOT ALL ARE 'courageous and friendly'! ! !
Hey cutee I love you you got the biggest balls in the whole town: D I love ya mothafucka freaking gay
my name is Renee and i just loved what you wrote: D very honet, very touching and very easy to read i truely loved it
AMEN! So perfectly said... Dan, I hope that you take this one and publish it everywhere humanly possible. This one could really make a difference in someone's life, and maybe even give someone the hope they need to go on! Three loud cheers from across the pond! ! !
Hello, Dan... I admire your poems.... and I admire you. Your poem speaks volumes. I'm glad you have found happiness and a sense of belonging in just being YOU. May we all find ourselves and live our lives being our true selves. Society doesn't always make that easy... as you have described so well in this poem. I give it a great big 10.
A person is a person no matter what style they choose. It does not mean they do not have a heart.Who are we to judge, I know of only ONE who had the right to judge.
gr8 job Dan...i know how you feel... i hav pure hatred towards those who go out of their way to tell others their digust of gay ppl...gr8 job once again on how u xpress urslef Love, Tori
Good poem Dan lifes to short for prejudice. Did you write it for the book Benjamin and Melissa are putting together? Seamus
Courageous and powerful poem, Dan. If people spent more time trying to make the world a better place for us ALL to live, instead of obsessing with what each other is doing in the bedroom, then things would be a lot better on this earth. You write beautiful poems and have every right to live, love, and be happy.
Well written Dan. You tell the homaphobic narrow minds. Being Gay is just being in my book. I have three son's and I swear to god, it would not bother me one tiny bit if any of them declared their Gayness. Be proud of who you are and remember, No ones opinion of you matters more than yours. A great poem on the freedom of sexual preference. It makes me sick all the Gay guys are so damned good looking though! lol Grinning at you, Tai
PM won't let me comment other than this type of spineless no-comment!
Freudian slip? I meant PH, but since they kept saying I was trying to talk a bit too much and kept turning my comments down I felt as if Justin Trudeau or other such authoritarian mouthpiece and puppet of the Left was shuting me up.
