While the sentiment is wonderful, to not judge others for their sexual identities and practices, this poem is problematic in its terminology. "Gay" is synonymous with "homosexual" in this poem, so to say that straight people are "gay" in the eyes of homosexuals is incorrect. Perhaps a better use would be "different" or "unusual," or perhaps "queer" (though this is problematic as well, as "queer" means non-normative). Regardless, as a self-identified lesbian I appreciate your intentions with this poem. Keep writing :)
