Analysis of Not Every Gay Is Selfish (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
Not Every Gay Is Selfish (Bussokusekika)
Many years ago
I felt hatred towards gays
Due to one’s actions
To this day I’m still angry
And I resent what he did
Not every gay is selfish

About this poem
Another poem about a selfish gay corpsman who felt me up while I was in leather restraints on Okinawa Japan…I still harbor anger towards what he did but I have learned many things from the experience…Only God and the corpsman know why he did what he did…Who can say for certain?
