The Problem With Gays and Acronyms
... is that they use WAY too many!
I was thinking about this tonight when I was at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival opening film and gala. Actually it's the San Francisco Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered Film Festival. I've heard rumors that the organizers wanted to call it the San Francisco Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Questioning, Bondage, Discipline & Sadomasochism Film Festival (GLBTQBDS) but ran out of room on the invites so they gave up on that idea.
What's up with homos and dykes in the gay community feeling like they must accommodate EVERY deviation and taste within the homo community? I think it's OK to say "Well, I know you like to be beat with leather whips but you're still gay and can we keep you under the gay category instead of creating a whole new one for you?" But no, the homos MUST have a whole separate classification for everyone.
And what's up with the whole "questioning" deal? So if you don't know you're gay then you're not, and you're not straight either. Until you decide must you have a separate category called "questioning" and must the GLBTQBDS community allow you your own category? Aren't you also straight if you're sucking both dick and pussy and can't make up your mind which you prefer even though you enjoy the taste of both? Isn't that called "bisexual" anyway? Don't the "questioning" peeps already have their own category?
Lesson to the homos: Sometimes it's OK to exclude.
