Ughh.
A gay man with a presentation throwing up a sculpted chest to make a point would not tell me that I'm not the expected audience. Again, the impediment is in your head, not the presenter.
Does a Python programmer using a slide of Python at a Ruby conference insult the audience? Give me a break.
Just because there are lots of people who love to be offended, blog about it, organize around it, and generally make a life of it, doesn't mean it's right.

What if you were the only straight person in the room? Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable attending a Ruby talk full of homosexual innuendo in such a situation?
- msbarnett 16y agoNo, not really. Why would I?
- fleitz 16y agoNo, homosexual innuendo is hilarious. It gives license to participate via another role or character. If you feel uncomfortable when surrounded by homosexuals that's your prerogative.
- aneth 16y agoNo. I wouldn't. I've been dancing in gay bars quite a few times, which is a much more challenging situation for a straight guy (brought there by girl friends, or gay friends.) I only feel uncomfortable when I get hit on heavily or fondled, all of which has happened many times, but even then, it's not a big deal.
- gloob 16y agoI'm straight and I enjoy homosexual innuendo. Like all innuendo, I find it amusing more than I find it titillating.
