Re: California Proposition 8 Continued
There is no monolithic gay culture that every gay person is a part of or adheres to. You're making a generalization that because this list was found on one gay-themed website, that every gay person knows those words or practices what they describe.
Siho: "You know, those gays are all perverts and pedophiles who want to have sex with and indoctrinate our children."
Random forum member: "Really?"
Siho: "Yeah. I was surfing the internet the other day [for the most disgusting information about gays that I could possibly find in order to poison the well in the debate], and I came across this list that describes some gay slang and definitions."
Random forum member: "Which site?"
Siho: "This site called glinn.com, which is supposed to be about news and information for the gay community. They had a list of gay slang, and some of the terms [8 out of 446 definitions, or 1.8%] were slang for older men having sex with younger men or boys."
Random forum member: "That doesn't sound like a good reason to believe that all gay people are like that. So you think all gay people are like that?"
Siho: "Sure. They all want to have sex with children and turn them gay."
Meanwhile I thought it might be fun to visit some of the terminology that the gay culture uses to refer to its various members and their peculiar kink.

Bill: "You know, those feminists all hate men."
Joe: "Really?"
Bill: "Yeah. I was in my philosophy class the other day and that Rachel chick gave a presentation."
Joe: "Which Rachel?"
Bill: "You know her. She's the one that runs that feminist group over at the Women's Center. She said that men are all sexist pigs. I asked her why she believed this and she said that her last few boyfriends were real sexist pigs. "
Joe: "That doesn't sound like a good reason to believe that all of us are pigs."
Bill: "That was what I said."
Joe: "What did she say?"
Bill: "She said that she had seen enough of men to know we are all pigs. She obviously hates all men."
Joe: "So you think all feminists are like her?"
Bill: "Sure. They all hate men."
