Derogatory term for a
housing estate built for and by
homosexuals. Apparently popular with some
scene queens who see it as way of extending the
scene into their
everyday lives. I see it as a horrible excuse for self-imposed
segregation. Didn't the
Nazis build these?
Homophobes are doing a pretty good job of
marginalising the
gay community so why do these
fools feel like helping them along?. Because they usually consist of high-quality housing with
low crime rates lots of
straight people usually move in as well defeating the point of them in the
first place.
I have to admit, this writeup was written on a purely light note so I can be accused to trivialising the issue. However, just because there is a 50 year gap between us and the Nazi movement does not mean the prejudice is dead or that the same things could happen again: while I understand the need of a supportive gay community I also think that exclusivity is a bad thing. But who exactly am I alienating?
