Most dominated by gays occupations

Whoa there, nelly. I never said 90% of those professions are gay. I said 90% of the MALES in those professions are gay.

Don't be twisting my words.

 

This is true. At least in this country. It's the only place I've lived on the planet, so can't vouch for the rest of your statement.

Immaterial anyway, the topic is gay professions.

 

I believe that's called wishful thinking.

 

Yet you fail to see how your own argument is just as fallacious.

The only thing you can say with certainty (and even that is dubious, at best) is that most of the male hairdressers you have met were gay.

 

For men I'm gonna go with actors, sailors, and figure skaters. For women, bodybuilders, folk singers, and lumberjacks.

 

Yes, it's called personal experience. Have any you'd like to share or is your knowledge limited to what you've heard?

 

Yes. In my personal experience there are gays in every profession, and many of them you would not know were gay unless they chose to tell you. Despite what you've seen on TV and the movies, we don't all flounce and lisp and have fabulous fashion sense. I wear socks with sandals, for instance.

 

No, if you can get a gay hairdresser, go for them - they are brilliant at their jobs, trust me!

 

Funny you should say his. My wife's hairdresser is a kathoey. Does great hair and nails, so my wife says.

 

You've got to be kidding. I'll consider that a concession that you have NOTHING.

Wow. Just...wow. So I guess now anything that is true of your anecdotal experience must be given the same credence as statistically verifiable fact. NOT!

So we're supposed to believe that most of your male hairdressers told you they were gay?

Whether or not I've visited many hairdressers is completely irrelevant. The people, mostly women, who have cut & styled my hair, haven't been given to telling me their orientation, with the exception of the occasional mention of a husband or boyfriend in passing.

Seems like your entire opinion on the matter is based on perpetuating a stereotype, not anything to do with reality.

 

Ahem...You said that in the context of making this lead-in statement:

I call that moving the goalposts.

I don't think you need my help in that.

 

ROFL! You just moved the goalposts again! "Most of the people on the planet" is not "most of the people in this country". You've pretty much made the other posters argument for them, without even realizing it.

 

I love it when a plan comes together.

 

Yep - it was awesome to watch that unfold.

 

As a heterosexual male, are you unable to control your sexual urges anytime you come in close proximity of any woman?

If not, why would you assume homosexual men are?

 

Probably a little bit more.

 

As a fashion freak is OK, but not as screener by TSA who performs pat downs by male passengers.

 

Yep, you're right, I suspected it too.

 

Rectal examiners, bottom end workers, pipe cleaners.......

Sorry guys just some homophobic humour.

A lot of chefs I come across are of that persuasion. Also media, and at times I think a lot of politicians are Poofters, but I don't really think that is because of their sexual persuasion. But they can be bent in other ways.

 

An oxymoron.

 

Having attended cosmetology school, and having worked as a stylist for over 10 years, I can tell you that there are not as many gay males as one might think in the industry. There were 2 out of 13 males in school that were gay. Maybe 5 or 6 out of ALL of the males I have worked with have been gay.

 

I guess that depends on what side of the fence you are looking from.

 

The best flight attendant I ever saw was a gay man. He was an extreme flaming pansy, and so proud of it. He literally pranced around the cabin, and was just so over-top-about it that his happiness was infectious.

Okay, I suppose he could have been a straight prancing pansy, but I don't think it's likely.

 

Yeah, flaming gays are infectiously fun if you're not threatened by that sort of behavior. I admire them in some ways. They're just a lot more rare than people think.

 

I wouldn't worry about a gay TSA agent, Ostap. They'd likely show you more respect than the straight ones!
