when i was little my brother and i were fighting
i don't remember why we were fighting
it was probably over a toy
or sharing something
he chased me up the stairs
i flattened myself against a pillow on the bed
i pretended to cry
he said, "jillian, it's ok"
and i turned to him quickly
and revealed my hands-
i made the "if you look at this, you're gay" sign with my hands
my right pointer finger was pressed in the middle of my left palm
my brother screamed
he was dumbfounded
he screamed again
we didn't know why, we didn't know what gay is
my best friend is gay
my neighbor is gay
my gay best friend has millions of gay friends
on myspace
one of my friend's little brothers is at the stage now where he calls everything gay
"not gay as in you like a man," he says
"gay as in you're stupid"

i am unable to determine the typings sexual preference.
it doesn't really matter
i've never heard of that hand gesture.
i know, it's ridiculous
it was when i was in like third grade or something
don't feel "left out"
i haven't heard of it either
i tried to do it and i think i pressed my finger into my hand too hard, but then i understood
i like your poems a lot
