After completing Michael Lassell’s poem my reaction was shock because it was so simply written but it held a lot of meaning. The homosexuality in this poem was based upon a guy who has a gay brother which he had a hard time accepting. It is hinted at when he asks his wife “How could anyone’s commitment be deeper than a husband and wife?” implying that he is not completely understand of why his brother would want to put himself through the criticism. His wife feels the same way which is expressed when she says that she does not want to know all the “details”. The not gay brother is having a hard time trying to decide whether he can accept his brother for what he really is which is gay.
In almost all the clips involving homosexuals it shows that society has a hard time excepting what they are.Like in the show Glee they don’t want the new guy to perform with the gay guy because they say it well rune his image. In the poem the main guy accepts what his brother is due him being on his death bed
