On October 11th, 2015, I posted a poem on Facebook for National Coming Out Day. It did fairly well, and riding off that attention, I wrote another poem for 2016, and one more for 2017. So, in the spirit of queering all my content as much as possible this month, here are those three poems.
Sexuality is like your College Major:
(published to Facebook on October 11th, 2015)

Some people scream it,
and on some people you can't tell.

Some people know their major,
some people are undecided,
and some people have two majors and three minors.

Some knew what they wanted to do since they were born,
and some re-declare every semester.
​
What's important is that you respect everyone
regardless of choice, change,
or difference from yourself.

For all the haterz in my feed:
my sexuality's no joke.
(I doubt my friends are haterz though.
But I'm still #QueerAsFolk).

(published to Facebook on October 11th, 2017)

it's come a tradition for me here to write
a small poem each year on this day
a poetically kinder and yearly reminder
i'm incontrovertibly gay

and this year i'll use this sall tune that i write
as a beacon for all friends that read
to find me a queer somwhere out in the world
and to trap him and send him to me

so if anyone out there knows of a good gay
who lives near me or soon shall return
i'm 20, still single (and ready to mingle?)
my mother is getting concerned
