Good to you here again. I joined in Orinda I think, and mostly lurked then as there were quite a number that had more to say than I did, but I certainly remember your input. Bifo seemed to be a lot more humorous back then. I look forward to those opportunities to make a subtle pronoun slip or some other ambiguous statement that force someone to think or question what they heard. I even rehearse lines in order to be prepared. Throws them off balance for sure. And that's what I really want to do, make them think, for themselves, about the shifting nature of sexuality. Bisexuality, in any of its myriad forms, is such a threat to the stability of so individuals. I think that it is the possibility that they themselves might switch, give in to temptation, and that is scary.

Here to help you comb through this 21st century homo-sonnet are the complete lyrics with helpful annotations in italics: INTRO: It doesn’t matter if you him, or capital H-I-M.

WE ARE ALL BORN SUPERSTARS SHE ROLLED MY HAIR AND PUT MY LIPSTICK ON IN THE GLASS OF HER BOUDOIR (- Gaga’s biological or drag mother? Return to this hypothesis later.) “THERE’S NOTHIN WRONG WITH LOVIN WHO YOU ARE” SHE SAID, “‘CAUSE HE MADE YOU PERFECT, BABE” (Remember to research Gaga mother’s connection to Lagerfeld) “SO HOLD YOUR HEAD UP GIRL AND YOU’LL GO FAR, (posture is important for today’s modern working girl. Influence of Simon’s ‘Let The River Run?’) LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY” CHORUS: I’M BEAUTIFUL IN MY WAY ‘CAUSE GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES I’M ON THE RIGHT TRACK (Was this lyric taken from Pippin? Please cross-reference) I WAS BORN THIS WAY DON’T HIDE YOURSELF IN REGRET JUST YOURSELF AND YOU’RE SET (‘You are set’ or ‘Your set?’ Set of what? Perhaps, lipstick.
