    Gee, it's almost like every minority group has this problem. I wonder if society treating them like shit has anything to do with it? :thonk:

      Given that non-normative sexual habits are - to this very day - conflated with mental illness, I have to question whether this figure is redundant with the subject matter. "Being gay is just when you're anxious or depressed" is a thing liberalish homophobes believe, and so "straightening you out" becomes an exercise in trying to treat these assumed-associative conditions.

      Similarly the "drink and smoke more but weigh less" line sounds suspiciously like a proxy for "is younger". I mean, ffs, smoking is an appetite suppressant. So you're already tripping over your own dick with this one.
