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.

Evidence: Sir Elton, Prince Charles, Margaret Thatcher.

only one of those is notably gay. So there is a 66% chance of being straight in the UK, and 100% if you are female... damn lies and statistics!

What are you talking about? Prince Charles is a bigger poofter than Oscar Wilde and Margaret Thatcher is, I contend, either a raging bull dyke or a man in drag.

You do realize that I'm joking around, right?
