The gay card: priceless?

There's so much room for jokes with that title that I'm going to try to leave them up to everyone else to post their own in the comments. I have to say that I have not in fact used my sexuality to my advantage, at least not to my own knowledge. The frightful truth, at least from behind my eyes is that in the current social climate of our country, if a person isn't straight then their sexuality is made into a handicap, not an advantage. We are a minority, a blindly misunderstood minority for the most part. Until we are accepted as a naturally occuring part of the population, not a lifestlyle choice, I'm very much afraid that is not going to change. Oh, I've just thought of one time I used my sexuality to my advantage! Well, it was associated with my parents' lifestlye but still I suppose it counts. My step-dad is a transvestite and my parents are also active in the B/D/S/M community. Because of that, my step-dad "Tina" was in the gay pride parade in chicago a couple years ago. My mom, my partner and myself were along handing out fliers. I took advantage of the situation to scream obsenities at the tiny group of protestors at the end of the parade. It may not be much but it's the only example I've got. While not in any way constructive, it certainly made me feel better!
