Well actually if u think about it then it could be seen as talking about a bi (or pan, etc) man. And he’s singing on the fact that everyone thinks he’s gay just cause he’s dating a man. Song makes a whole lot of sense in that way.
My whole family knew I was into girls before I did. When I asked my little sister if she knew before I came out. She replied with, "Sis, there are two things you can see from space. The Great Wall of China, and your gay." I'm pan, but I guess saying gay is easier.
Well I mean theirs also bi, pan, etc. Theirs more then just gay and straight. Just cause u r attracted to women doesn’t mean your automatically a lesbian (depends on if your exclusively attracted to them). That’s how I look at that line is a bi person (or whatever) who keeps getting mistaken for being gay just cause he’s with a boy. Song makes a whole lot of sense in that way.

goodness this is relatable. i asked my family at the dining table on what to do if i liked someone, and they said- without missing a beat, “what’s her name?”. my gender’s a female.
The “watching SpongeBob had side affects” low key hits me hard since my mom didn’t allow me to watch SpongeBob when I was younger because she thought it was gay.
I love this song, it reminds me of this Friends episode where everyone's like "Yeah Chandler, it's the way you are so...precious". Also love ya Bo! To me you're the greatest comedian 💕
When I hear this it reminds me of how I accidentally came out to my grandmother Grandmother: I can't believe you're old enough to have a boyfriend... or even a girlfriend Me: Either one works for me *silence*
This song legit works for me because a) before my I knew I was gay my favourite colour was the rainbow and b) I’m somewhat afraid of snow because... well I’m allergic to the cold. I love my sad Canadian life
This is kinda relateble cuz my friends think I'm gay and my class thinks i'm straigt (they're trying real hard to set me up with this one guy) and i'm just in the middle of it trying to figure out if i'm ace
@@xxdvicioxx2117 huh didn't think anyone else had it like this but on the other hand it's stupid to think no one would since there's like what 7 billion people on earth now anyways, Anyways if you'd like to tell I'd love to hear your story since it's not everyday you find someone who you relate to in something so specific
This accurately describes the way some people think about bi and pan people. It's referencing how he's not gay, but how he's also not straight. Basically he's trying to describe how his sexuality is kinda in the middle (he's either bi, poly, omni, or pan).
The way I came out was when kids at school asked me about my preference and I said "I'm about as a straight as my hair (curly)" and from there you don't need to do anything cuz......kids are kids
"Been as straight as a ramp if you don't count bible camp" depending on how straight that ramp was that either means the priests were very anti gay, or very pro gay if you know what I mean.
My biggest fear for when I come out to my family is that after I tell them all they say is “Oh we already knew you were gay” WHAT??? YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDNT PLAN TO TELL ME AHEAD OF TIME???? YOU HAD ME WORRYING MY ASS OF FOR *NOTHING*
*ADAPTACIÓN ESPAÑOL* Siempre que voy a la cena Parece que soy algo más pequeña Me sentare a desayunar hoy Puedo hablar, no lo creo Cuando los miro puedo encontrar Que solo tienen una pregunta Desearía volver a como era No es fácil ya porque Todos piensan que soy gay
I was listening to this in like 5th grade and at the "My whole family now suspects that watching Sponge Bob has side effects." and my mom dead ass looked me in my 10 year old face and said "Oh is that what it was >:)?" I never will forget the Savagery 💀
Dude if you think you're gay or have attraction that isn't to the opposite sex, then you're gay or have attraction that isn't to the opposite sex. You don't need to label it, and the best way to go about dealing with thoughts of confusion about if I'm lying to myself or not is just to accept that, hey, maybe I was wrong about my sexuality/gender, but maybe I was right. Either way, I will accept myself as I am and continue to live with the label that makes me happy. If that label changes over time, that's fine. All that matters is that I'm happy with who I am and I recognize that I'm still learning about myself and discovering new things that may suit me more than others. I find that this actually really helps with insecurity because it reminds me that there's nothing to be insecure about, the only person that matters in this situation is me, no one's going to judge me more than they already do, and I can be me, no matter how many times the definition of "me" changes over the years.
@@nadinkhatib1858 Wow thanks I did figure it out tho I'm gender fluid ABROSEXUAL and acesexual that's such good advice tho it would have saved me a lot of stress everyone should follow that advice thanks

“My Whole Family” (WLW ver.)
Every time I go to dinner
It seems like I’m getting a little bit thinner
I’ll sit down at the breakfast table
I can talk; they’re not able
When I look at them, I find
There’s a single question on their mind
I wish it could go back to the way it was
It’s not easy now, because…
My whole family thinks I’m gay
I guess it’s always been that way
Maybe it’s ‘cause of the way that I sit
Makes them think I like… girls (that I like girls…)
The goddamn question just won’t go away
And I get asked every single day
But the way they ask it is not very vague
Like, “How was your day? Do you like to kiss babes?” (That’s… funny.)
This is the worst, baby this was my fear,
Now their opinions are crystal clear
Because my whole family now is shocked,
I’m in the closet, and the door is locked
Now my glory days ain’t ahead
I was a Spice Girl
Now I’m Girl in Red
And my whole family now suspects
That watching Owl House had side-effects
I’m not gay, and that’s what I said
If I’m gay, hey God, strike me dead
(Sputtering)
Just ‘cause I’m not afraid of the snow
Or my favourite colour is… the rainbow! (Heh, that’s a joke!)
I don’t mean to yell, but I fear I must,
‘Cause I’m losing the people I thought I could trust
Because… even my girlfriend thinks I’m gay!
That’s a… motherfu-
You all probably think I’m gay
Man, this song is counter-productive!
La la la la la…
Because my whole family thinks I’m gay
What do they know, anyway?
You gotta look right through the haze
That building set was just a phase
And my whole family thinks I’m queer
That is all I ever hear
But I’ve been as straight as a ramp
If you don’t count… scouting camp.
I wanna make a song cover now-

The “watching SpongeBob had side affects” low key hits me hard since my mom didn’t allow me to watch SpongeBob when I was younger because she thought it was gay.
i mean it was supposed to be gay
I heard that SpongeBob was actually asexual so he is part of the LGBTQ community.
same 😭
My mom did the same but it was Adventure Time (it ended up being quite gay)
@@skittl3s457 I mean he is a sponge afterall
“ If I’m gay.. Hey god strike me dea- *d i e s* ”

This is great i love this song lol
Me as a kid: wow I really like this song, it's so funny
Me now: HOW DID I NOT KNOW
Hits different when they turn out right.
When I hear this it reminds me of how I accidentally came out to my grandmother
Grandmother: I can't believe you're old enough to have a boyfriend... or even a girlfriend
Me: Either one works for me
*silence*

The way I came out was when kids at school asked me about my preference and I said "I'm about as a straight as my hair (curly)" and from there you don't need to do anything cuz......kids are kids
My favorite version:
"But I've been as straight as a ramp.
'Least I was 'til theatre camp."
"Been as straight as a ramp if you don't count bible camp" depending on how straight that ramp was that either means the priests were very anti gay, or very pro gay if you know what I mean.
I'm technically a bi girl with a boyfriend, but I still vibe with this XD

I CAN RELATE TO THIS SONG..
It took me a year to get the snow joke
Every time I go to class, I think I'm getting a little bit thinner
I'll sit down at the lunch table, I can talk, they're not able
And when I look at them I find there's a single question on their minds
I wish it could go back to the way it was, it's not so easy now because...
My whole grade thinks I'm G A Y
I guess it's always been that way
Maybe it's cause of the way that I draw
Makes them think that I like
wahmen?
That I like women....
Am gonna play this song as loud as I can
This is like me except it’s also my friends
I remember coming out to my brother…
The son of a motherless goat really said “I thought you were lesbian”💀
