Gay. It's the new black. Except not so much.
An anonymous commenter pointed the following out to me. Enjoy.

Msscribe makes a post stating "It's time to get black, gays!"

There's a lot of "Yeah! You go, sister!"

But of course there are those that disagree...

And those who get wanky and tell Msscribe "Basically, you look like a white chick so what the fuck do you know?" (since Msscribe explains in her first post that she's passed for white before)...

And the obligatory "It's a choice to be gay!" post.

Five pages and counting.

To summarize for easy reading:

Gay may or may not be the new Black. Some people are both. Anti-gay marriage amendments are bad. Black can be capitalized. So can Gay. Even if one is bell hooks. Unless one chooses not to because it irritates one, or because one doesn't say White or Straight. Apparently there's a logical process involved here. Black may or may not be a cultural distinction. Not all blacks are African-Americans. Not all blacks in America are African-American. Some people don't want their sexual identity worn on a sticker that may or may not be purely metaphorical. Others like that idea. Godwin's Law lives, fat and happy and rolling in the wank. Some people are apparently offended by this discussion. Others aren't. Maybe tattoos are the answer. But probably not phosphorescent tats. Though cards in bicycle spokes make [info]ashenmote feel pretty and witty and gay. People are apparently scared of teh_gay because they don't understand the physics. But probably not in the same way they're scared of teh_disabled. Metaphors are not diverse enough for some people's tastes. Ze Germans are coming wit de pronouns like te and ter and snitziwinkle. Anons are distressingly cavalier about using their names. Lots of people are wanking. [info]dreamtoday is apparently lost and needs direction to the comm s/he (but not "it," apparently) was looking for. The sarcasm, though well-intended, falls flat when s/he apparently thinks this is [info]fandom_wank rather than [info]otf_wank. It is a "d'oh!" moment, but it happens to the best of us. No-one is better than anyone else because s/he tics. Brains in vats can't change lightbulbs, except in a Gedankenexperiment sort of way. Someone wonders what [info]darkrose's motivations are. Somebody else takes the trouble to search out capitalization rules on-line. Apparently one may or may not be allowed to capitalize words. Someone else posits that netspeak is the new Martin Luther King Jr. Or, possibly, the new Harvey Milk. I consider noting that I don't like the taste of milk, but forbear because no-one fucking mentioned, dumbfuck!

How's that?

If I had a gold star, it'd be yours. (Please note the lack of gender of the star.)

Beautiful is the word that comes to mind. I think I have a little tear in my eye, now.

Does this mean that netspeak is going to be martyred soon? If so, I hope there's a federal holiday for it, 'cause I could use another day off.

"How's that?"

I'd say, um, funny.

But don't quote me on it, your mileage may vary.

Pretty good.

Now with all those problems solved, is there anything else tofu_wank can do to make this world a better place?

I'll tell you how.

Wait for it.. wait for it...

It's not crack! No, it's nicotine! You missed it, WP, it's all the fault of the tobacco companies. Hell, you've got the cotton in the filter of cigarettes (omg slavery!); the fact that some call cigarettes FAGS (my god, homophobia!), and let's not neglect that bit where Net Nanny is trying to FILTER the content of the cigarette... ;)
