"…And these children
That you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations.
They're quite aware
Of what they're going through…."

Dear Mr. Horner-
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention as punishment for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. Why do you care? You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms; the most convenient definitions. Correct?
But what we found out is that while each one of us is queer; we are each also…
A brain…
An athlete….
A mama's boy….
A drama princess…
And a criminal….
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The QBC
That's the way we saw each other at seven this morning but we were brainwashed.
