Make it Write Does it Matter? Anonymous High School Student My father asked if I am gay. I asked, "Does it matter?" He said, "No. Not really." I said, "Yes." He said, "Get out of my life!" I guess it mattered.   My boss asked if I am gay. I asked, "Does it matter?" He said, "No. Not really." I said, "Yes." He said, "You're fired, faggot!" I guess it mattered.   My friend asked if I am gay. I asked, "Does it matter?" He said, "Not really." I said, "Yes." He said, "Don't call me your friend!" I guess it mattered.   My lover asked, "Do you love me?" I asked, "Does it matter?" He said, "Yes." I told him I loved him. He said, "Let me hold you in my arms." For the first time something mattered.   My god asked me, "Do you love yourself?" I said, "How can I love myself? I'm gay." He said, "That's what I made you. Nothing else will ever matter again."
