Signing oneself up for membership in the victim class is hugely profitable.

If that were true, then we would expect straight people to pretend to be gay in order to take advantage of the huge profit opportunity, just like we have people who pretend to be war heroes. Instead, what we have is gay people pretending to be straight. Why do you think that is?


Bullshit....in spite of decades of advancement of the victim culture there are still a lot of people (most?) who have no desire to be a victim, or play one in spite of the profit to be had in doing so.

Sure, most people are honest, but we could certainly expect some people to fake victim status for an advantage, right? We see students faking ADD to get more time on exams, people faking handicaps to get preferred parking, etc. While you might be an upstanding citizen, we know others aren't, so why aren't people faking being gay if it is such an advantage in the victim culture? Why are all those people who are entitled to claim the title in the closet if it is such an advantage? Do you really think being gay is our society is any sort of advantage when it could cost you your job or even your life?

@engineer,
If you have not met a woman who claimed to be a homo but who was not then you have lived a very sheltered life. Hell...even Chai admitts to doing it.

That's your "proof?" Women use it to keep creeps away, so it's some sort of magic shield?

Holy ****; you're more of an idiot that I thought. (And I'm convinced you're a pretty big damn idiot.)

@DrewDad,
Women could be doing it to keep creeps away, or maybe they are telling the truth.
In a freshmen psychology course, our last research paper was on the subject of transgenderism. And I came across a a large amount of research/ studies that was conducted either in the 80's or 90's that said women move about more in their sexual orientation than men.

@DrewDad,
Me too. I think that's the appeal of the Parsons acknowledgment. His sexual orientation wasn't mentioned - just the name of his love interest. That seems to be a move toward normalcy. Have to say I'm very pleased about the shift toward decent treatment of gay peeps in recent years.

My next project: the fat and ugly!

I opened up all my closets in case I missed something.

You have no room to talk, in fact the minute you open your mouth your purse falls out all over the floor! Cool

@EqualityFLSTPete,
I need hair gel that actually WORKS. I'm tired of weak gel that holds for a little while, then collapses. I want gay spiky hair in the front. Any suggestions? Razz
