LMAO! This is the funniest thing I've read today. You really think a
"Gay Only" Linux would sell and make "serious money", when Linux has
less than 1% market share?

Good thing you killfiled me, since you won't be hearing the laughter
unless somebody responds to this.

I'll post as a new thread to make sure you see it

Considering the loud objections from the Linux supporters in
comp.os.linux.advocacy each time homosexuality is attacked I venture
to say there are a large number of homosexual Linux users. Maybe not as
many as Apple users, but a decent amount. Goblin, Gregory
Shearman, Marti, Chris Ahlstrom and others seem to anguish with
latent homosexual tendencies as evidenced by their extreme objections to
anti-homosexual material.
I don't know why though because there is nothing wrong with being a
homosexual. In some societies it's compleetly normal and certainly
much better than so called advanced societies like those who burned
witches at the steak in the name of God. Live and let live is my motto.

I would not know the figures and what does it matter?

For adults and not Microsoft Advocates, someones sexuality is not an issue.

Want to suggest I am homosexual because I challenge homophobic behavior
by Microsoft Advocates? Fine. I don't care.

I don't think anyone else would care either.

I am not suggesting anything other than there is nothing wrong with
homosexuality.I am merely making an observation.

Nobody cares, true. And gays sometimes invite straights to their
social functions since it gives them more mainstream credibility. I
found that to be the case living in San Francisco. And witness for
example the anti-homophobia efforts by major league sports teams,
employing straight athletes to come out against homophobia.

But this raises a larger point. Gays by definition are anti-
mainstream. Linux is the same. So to a degree Apple. It makes sense
then that these 'rebels' are attracted to these 'minority' OSes.

As well as anuses, pun intended.

Then you are one better than the Microsoft Advocates that frequent here.

I hope you continue your observations as it does bring out an important
point - the people who make homophobic remarks. These people need to be
challenged and I'm happy to be one of the people to challenge them.

Nope... not in the least. My sexual preference are *my* business.
Speculation about it by others is rather childish and obsessive.

Who is "use" Creepy?

What's wrong about a "studs and leather theme, with options for deep purple
