I've noticed that people in a non-obvious minority group tend to be pleasantly surprised when they find out that someone distinguished is from that same minority group.
In addition to the example of gay/lesbian people, I've noticed that Canadians (nationality) and Jews (religion) tend to show this trait. It makes sense - it's pleasing to learn that one of "your tribe" is doing well.
- Mandatum 13y agoThat's the nicest, subtlest wording of OPIAF I've ever seen.
- theunixbeard 13y agoAny link explaining the usual description of OPIAF? Urban dictionary and google are failing me.
- Bootvis 13y agoI'm guessing "OP is a fag" or similar but please enlighten me.
- gargarplex 13y agoThis is a really cruel thread.
- theorique 13y agoHe said in a later comment that he was, in fact, gay. I'm not putting words in his mouth, nor mentioning it in a derogatory way. (edit: My mistake, I thought the parent comment was the same person as a lower down comment. Anyway, I wasn't deliberately "accusing" OP of being gay ... not that there's anything wrong with that.)
