Shout Out To Bossy’s Gays.

Bossy’s lived a long life and she’s got lots of friends
Just who are her favorites? Well that would depend…
But the one thing that makes her smile wider each day
Is that fun-loving group from worldwide: Bossy’s Gays.

Homosexuals make the earth spin that much straighter
There is no Bossy love for small close-minded haters
Queens. Fags. Perry Comos. Poofs. How about Queers?
Bossy’s not sure the Politically Correct term, she fears.

But that doesn’t mean her heart’s not filled with Pride
‘Cause if you took Bossy’s Gays and lined them up side by side
You’d find style, wit, snark, sensitivity, and fun
(And a pitcher of mixed drinks that will leave you undone.)

Bossy’s wish for her friends: An expressed life with no closets
Same-sex marriage, kids, discos, hardwood floors, (no composites)
Holding hands, loving freely, total acceptance, sunny days
This and more, her desire for that group: Bossy’s Gays.

Soundtrack For Bossy’s Gays:

   I have always loved that song. Have you ever heard the Ramones cover that? That photo is the exact color of my awning (it was there when I moved in)

   I’m so glad vuboq offered smooches. I just didn’t know what to think… And, now “you need me” is stuck in me head. Is that Olive Oyl?

   That’s Olive Oyl, from Popeye! I’m ashamed to say I’ve seen it.
   The perfect song, in my mind, for this post.

   De-Lurking to say hello and let you know that despite living in Jerry Falwell’s town (though dead, he’s immortalized here) I have all the things you wish for us (except the dog, disco, and TOTAL acceptance). Life is good in East Jesus, VA.

   If I didn’t find women so hot, I would be proud to be gay. What’s the big deal? Some people like Chinese food, others corned beef sandwiches. What else is new? And the more fabulous guys who are gay, the less competition for us dorky straight guys. It’s a win-win situation.

    And Be-Yotch-iful’s Gays are so handsome and nice

    They love all the finest things and don’t care about price

    Ahh, Be-Yotch-ful’s Gays love good food and wine

    And if they get pissed at you, they curtly say: “Fine!”

    Most of them dwell in New Hope, Philadelphia and New York City

    And what they love most about her is she’s so darn, stinkin’ pretty!

    Bossy, you are so very cool! I’m glad that there are accepting, open-minded people like you in the world and wish there were more! I do not understand why anyone would have an objection to gay marriage: two people that love each other and want to show their commitment to each other, legally, financially, etc. How is that bad for anyone? I think that the conservatives just don’t like it because then they can’t call gays “promiscuous” anymore if they’re allowed to be married. And gays make great parents, too – those kids are always dressed to the nines and have the best home-made lunches in the class!

I’m straight, but a Fag Hag from Waaaay back (we’re talking early 80’s, here). These days, now that I’m addicted to The Food Channel, I look for Ina’s Boyz. She cooks so good, and her friends are Sew Gay. I love em. Love her. Love the fact that we can all celebrate Life with good food, instead of judgement.

    *Pardon* I’m off my soapbox now. Going back into hiding…
