(Untitled song for which you can use the pronoun 'it' for now) — Angela Brett on JoCo Cruise 2022

Joey Marianer's and my 'first date' was JoCo Cruise 2018, a five-day train journey from San Diego to Minneapolis, and MarsCon. We discussed where we were on the Kinsey scale, as you do on first dates. Joey was a reluctant 1, which means mostly straight, or at least mostly attracted to women — reluctant, because gender shouldn't even be a thing, let alone the most important criterion when choosing a partner. A few years later, I was thinking about that, and this song came out. It's about Joey, who doesn't seem to have any issues with it, but still, don't take it as a 100% accurate description, because who am I to describe such details of someone else?

I thought I’d be embarrassed to rewatch this one, because I’m not only singing, but also it’s my own tune. However, it is mercifully short, so I watched it without cringing. Can you do the same? 
There are additional bits of tune that keep coming to me in the middle of it, but those parts don't have words yet. This is the first time I've shared this song/poem with anyone but the two of us. You heard it here first!

He was not quite as queer as he wanted to be
But he was into girls, and he was into me
And the question was what kind of person was he
‘cause he wasn’t a girl, but he wanted to be
It was not quite the deal that it’s vaunted to be 
Well, it wasn’t to him and it wasn’t to me
And the answer was clear: a kind person was he
And this all would still rhyme if the ‘he’ were a ‘she’

(repeat with pronouns switched, or any other appropriately rhyming pronouns, if you're not already sick of it.)
