Henry James or HJ his nick name.
Was giving me his 100 reasons I'm gay list.
Please note I was writing them down.
In the order given, he stressed.
Not in the order of importance.
A few caught my attention.
33 having a hot dad.
45 heterosexual marriage sucks.
69 Gay men always have sex.
70 Straight guys get cut off.
I got that one personally.
The bottom line guys over girls.
He actually held contests.
The boy always wins.
By the time he reached 100.
I told him I was now gay too.
I was going to have to divorce his mother,
Pay hundreds in child support.
Quit my job because they hate queers where I work.
Go on unemployment, become homeless.
My son's responds
You got the drama queen part down, check you out.
You get custody of me and I can support us both.

He was supposed to run back in a closet.

Look young man I don't give a rat's ass if your gay.
I just want you to be happy.
And to learn from your mistakes and not repeat them.
Come out go out go live your gay life.
Then I got a hug from a gay young man.
And I remembered.
That's my little boy growing up.
