The Heterosexual Community

[poliphilo]

Some Diddy-biddy on the BBC News channel just asked an interviewee how something or other would affect the heterosexual community.  The what? 

I'm a heterosexual. How come I never heard of this community before? Why don't they send me the newsletter? Why don't I get invited to meetings? Where's my club badge? 

Who's our convenor? Peter Stringfellow?  Katie Price?

I want to get out and meet my fellow-heterosexuals. I want to take tea with them. I want to discuss all the pressing concerns we have in common.

What lazy, nonsenical stuff all this talk of "community" is.  The Muslim community, the Chinese community, the gay community, the black community: none of these really exists.

Well, we are pluralist and tolerant, not to mention eccentric! And we probably invented all-male boarding schools.

Also Ben Sherman and French Connection. If it makes you feel any better, most of Northern Europe is gay and all of Southern Europe is kinda awkward.

Ben Sherman? I'm FCUKed if that's gay!

Your sweeping generalisations amaze me! Have you ever been here? LOL It isn't quite like Brideshead revisited ALL the time! I've been to California. and of course everyone there is a gay, dope smoking hippie poet surfer.

Excuse me while I put on my smoking jacket and reach for my copy of The Well of Loneliness.

You know...

Funny thing...

I'm a gay hippie poet surfer.

If I weren't absurdly cheap, I'd probably smoke dope, too.
