Three cheers for dressing however the hell you like, and for not being defined by other people's categories. I myself am at this moment .. no let's no go there.
LCoU, were you also a bit pissed off that they edited out the worst swearies when Little Britain migrated to BBC1 from BBC3? In the scene at the fete, with the gay vicar, and the old lady saying "what that boy needs is a nice big...", she so obviously really enjoyed saying the (not especially rude) words that it felt like sacrilege that they toned it down. Interesting how you can blow people up but you can't describe gay sex explicitly on the BBC. Quote:

little britain is the funniest programme around, matt lucas is a gay icon, and
the bbc had no right to tone it down in favour of their elderly viewers |

Sorry Ri. Hm... I used 'gay lifestyle' in response to posts before mine. Oh well. There isn't one, we both agree, we can move on.
I think 'gay community' is still misleading though. It implies that gay people all live in the same neighbourhood or something. But no biggie.

Gee, Nurv, this UK site thinks lifestyle and community both work. Your position is untenable. GLBT is a series of actions in a repeated fashion leading to a distinctive pattern of behaviour and results. It is a lifestyle and there is a community...just like heterosexuals. http://uk.gay.com/ I'm sure that if I surf the web I can produce more exempla, but I leave you to do that. Just for funsies, how many sites would it take to produce a statistically reliable sample and results you would accept? My Google search under gay and lifestyle yielded 5, 240, 000 hits. Google on gay and community yielded 11,000,000 hits and gay and community and lifestyle yielded 1, 090, 000 hits! Your viewpoint seems in a minority, statistically speaking to self identifiers on the web search engines and usage. But, it's only data, I know.

My only problem with "gay lifestyle" is that it suggests everyone behaves the same. There are enough stereotypes about gays as it is without adding more. Quote:

In this very thread though, the two of us discussed how LGBT is more than a series of actions, it is also an orientation. I don't remember any (relevant) counterarguments my post #4298. Last edited by The Wizard from Milan : 03-01-2005 at 08:30 PM. |

Haha, that's awesome Chrys.
I did think you were at least half kidding with the Google data collection thing... um... right Inked? EDIT: Cross-posted with WfM. I agree - if I kissed a girl, would that make me gay? If I kissed a lot of girls, or one girl many times, would I be gay then?

Well I got 5m+ hits for gay cooking and 4m for gay football. Hmm. Nicely illustrates the perils of retrospective research methinks...

IRex I hope you don't do that search. There have been enough non-inflammatory examples to debunk the argument anyway.

Well, well, well, I see the sense of humor has been abandoned after all!
