呃，泛性戀

Would your life be easier if you were straight?

如果你是異性戀的話，你的生活會簡單一點嗎？

- Oh yeah, my life would totally be easier

噢耶，我的生活絕對會變得更簡單

if I were straight.

如果我是異性戀的話

- It depends on how you look at it I feel like.

我覺得這取決於你怎麼看待啦

- Growing up it probably would've been a lot easier understanding my own body and what was going on in my own head.

這樣長大的話大概會輕鬆很多

- It's really hard as a young kid

了解我自己的身體

because you know, people wanna make fun of you, or people wanna beat you up just because you're different, or you talk differently.

以及知道我的頭腦到底怎麼想

- If I go back home to North Carolina and I had a girl with me I have to watch about what I do and say.

當你是個孩子的時候真的很困難

- You know in high school I wanted to take a guy to the prom

因為你知道，別人會想取笑你

and I couldn't do that.

或是就因為你不一樣就揍你

- It's hard enough being a person of color

或者用不同的方式跟你講話

and I think not being straight is another level of of privilege that I don't have.

如果我回去北卡羅來納的話

- We as gay people have to go to gay-themed events,

而且如果我有女朋友，我需要很注意

gay bars, gay clubs,

要注意我做了什麼以及說了什麼

whereas a straight could even just go to the grocery store and find someone.

你知道嗎，在高中的時候我想帶一個男生去舞會

- My life has become a lot easier now that I've kind of just accepted who I am and not giving a shit about what anybody thinks.

但我做不到

- More than my life being easy

當一個有色人種已經夠難了

I mostly just think about my family's life being easier.

而我想「不是異性戀」這件事更是一個我無法擁有的特權

- It's really not the easiest life.

我們作為同性戀需要去同性戀主題的活動

If you could be straight, would you?

同性戀酒吧、同性戀夜店

- I would not be straight if I could be.

同時異性戀只要隨便去個雜貨店就可以找到對象了

- God no.

在我接受我自己就是這樣之後生活確實變得輕鬆許多

- Nah.

而且我才不管別人怎麼想

I tried to be straight once, it lasted about two months.

比起我的生活變得輕鬆

- I wouldn't be straight.

我大概只有想要讓我家庭的生活變得簡單一些

- No, because I think the world has gotten to a more accepting place.

這真的不是最輕鬆的生活方式

- No I would never turn straight if I could.

如果你可以變成異性戀，你願意嗎？

- No, I'm very comfortable in my own skin,

如果可以，我不會當異性戀

I don't wanna turn straight, I don't wanna be straight,

天啊，才不要！

I wanna be gay the way I am.

不要哩

- I love being gay, I love being

我試著當過一次異性戀，大概維持了兩個月

you know, this flamboyant person.

我不會當異性戀

I love enjoying life and grabbing life by the balls.

不，因為我覺得這個世界已經變成更能接受差異的地方了

- Not being straight is awesome.

不，就算我可以我也永遠不會變成異性戀

- I live in this beautiful limbo that I've created for myself.

不，我覺得我現在的皮膚很好

- I've come out on the other side of this dark tunnel that all the gays go through,

我不想要要變成異性戀，我不想要當異性戀

but I can see why people would want to.

我想要當男同性戀，這就是我

- As a Christian too, I believe I'm the way I am for a reason.

我超愛當男同性戀，我喜歡當

- I think if I hadn't had those experiences

你知道的，像我這樣絢麗亮麗的人

I wouldn't be who I am today.

我很享受生活並且可以主宰自己的人生

- To even think about that would just be disregarding all of the hard work I put into myself.

不當異性戀超棒的啊

- Have you ever been to a gay bar?

我想活在這個我為我自己創造出來的美好的中間狀態

If you haven't, you need to go.

我已經走出所有同性戀都需要經過的漫長且黑暗的隧道了

Straight bars are so boring.

但我可以理解為什麼以些人會想(變成異性戀)

- I feel like if I grew up not having to question these things,

即使做為一個天主教徒，我相信我是這樣的人是有原因的

I would not be as compassionate of a person, or as educated of a person.

我想如果我沒有這些經驗的話
