The title was in my head when I woke up on Friday morning. It was after 
looking through books of surrealist paintings in Lorem Ipsum the day 
before. In one of them was a Nazi cartoon in which Hitler smashes a clay 
sculpture of small men and out of the clay reforges a very veiny single 
naked Aryan. So I had no choice. This song is in the latest draft of the 
Fluffy play, not yet posted. Hart is having trouble coming to terms with 
his bisexuality. Bern and Sarah list famous gay people throughout 
history then sing this song while dancing in a conga line.

Conga line song:

Hitler was So Gay

Hitler was so gay, deny it if you dare,
The way he wore his boots, the way he wore his hair,
Of training camps for boys he was so very fond,
He wanted to create himself the perfect blue-eyed blond,

Sigmund was so gay,  his actions will avouch,
He only had one dream: to get you on the couch,
Of smoking big cigars he never used to tire,   
He managed to invent a word for sexual desire.

Jesus was so gay, so gentle, sweet and kind,
That perfect skin, mustache and beard a little too designed,
He had that thing for feet, he never had a wife,
He hung around with other guys in dresses all his life.

We are all so gay, that's what this is about,
The world would be a better place if only we came out,
It's time to break the bars, it's time to smash the locks,
It's time to sing the songs, dance the dances, wear the frocks,

Everyone is gay, the message for the night,
The person on your left, the person on your right,
The person in between, you see them every day,
Now see them with the certainty that everyone is gay.
