But when that theory plants itself on the living room sofa and goes:  "<waving>Hi There."   --- they'd change their tune real fast.

It was probably the limp wrist that did it. You didn't lithp too, did you?   

Oh come on, that was totally funny ...

I knew someone was going to do this.

And yet you seem so surprised... ;-]

Clearly, he has just enough hope for humanity to hope against reality.   

That said, I do appreciate that he went out of his way to explain how the stereotype of "looking fancy" = gay is just a stereotype, and that "lifestyle" is an offensive term.  Hopefully I'll remember these things the next time I deal with folks.

Exactly what I was going to say.

That's exactly why I posted such a long explanation:  to fight the rightwing propaganda being spread here in the US.

This is so like Daryil!

I hadn't realized it, but yes, you're right.  It is.

And, usually, when I'm actually saying this, I drop my voice an octave and say," Hi There," in a smooth, flat, serious tone.

Not at all like ... this:

<sarcasm><dq>Gurl, puhleeeze!  Limp wrists is sooo 1950's.  And lisps?  Girl, what century are you livin' in?!?!  </dq></sarcasm>


See ... you see this?  *points to Bjalf*  This is why I have to go dragging out that long post.  Year. after. year.  For 15+ years.  You'd think that, by now, I woudn't need this heavy, clunky old thing.  *kicks the well-worn explanation*  But noooooooo ... no some people have to continue living back in the 1970's.  (Or 1870's.)

(I'm only partly serious with that last paragraph.)

Well, you know (4th frame) ...

Offcourse, one just cannot help but start making fun of the stereotypes that exists.
Particularly the perceptions some people have, are just too funny to not make fun of.

We once had a gay comedian at a local pup, who said this :
"In some cases I have managed to convince people that gayness can be transferred trough bacteria in the air, only to be told that air filters helps against that. Imagine the commercial for that airfilter ? Buy our new airfilters, now also proof against gayness."

People will believe *anything* !
And it can be hilarious.

Granted not all fashion designers are gay, they just dress like it. 

They're not gay? Lies! Lies and slander!

It's true !!
Some are bisexual !
