Compulsory Heterosexuality

Justin Bieber's "Baby" currently has over 600 million views on youtube. It also has over 200 million dislikes and over 6 million comments (feat. Heterosexism and General Unpleasantness). Here's my take on it.

Lyrics:
I know I love you
Or at least I should
Because you shout whenever
I'm not being good
Not being "normal"
Just way too queer
When you try controlling it
It reappears

Are we an item?
No, we have agency!
Our relationship
Will not define me
Going through the motions
Like a hetero mime
And now I realize for the first time

I'm only with you because of

Compulsory heterosexuality
Maybe we should consider breaking up

Compulsory heterosexuality
Keeps on working to define me
Compulsory heterosexuality
I really want to break up with you

For you
I would do whatever
It's part of that social script
We read together
Everybody's reading it
No one's aware
They didn't write this shit
It was just there

"Is it a choice?"
What an awful question
But if you don't read that script
Then you'll get asked it
So act confused
"Is what a choice?"
"Ah, I see. Yes, yes, of course 'it's' not a choice! That's why they call 'it'..."

Compulsory heterosexuality
Compulsory means not chosen

What could choice really be?
When we've got compulsory heterosexuality
What does it mean to be "me"?
That may be too hard a question to answer in a JBiebz song

Oh, JBiebz
How folks malign you
They call you gay
Much harsher words too
But your music quality
And your sexuality
And your gender
They're all different things

Attacks on
Your masculinity
Are meant to de-legitimize you
To make you nothing
But femme-y boys
They're really something
Something beautiful
Something amazing

So let's all stop enforcing

Compulsory heterosexuality
It's really, entirely useless

This isn't about procreation
It's entirely about the erasing
Of wonderful human diversity
Let's cut that shit out now

Compulsory heterosexuality
It's seriously just the worst
