Well maybe they've seen board members go into attack mode if they say the phrase "gay niche." We are a tad defensive about that.

I think that we experience homophobic remarks on straight boards that may chase us away, and likewise, I can't imagine it'd be nice for a straight affiliate rep to be racked over the coals for saying "gay niche."

We can't have it both ways; we can't want them here, but then, rip them a new one when they make a faux pas. And I've done it, too, I remember ripping into the Gag a Fag guy, or whatever that sight was.

And if I were a straight rep and I happened by GWW during The War Against the Triad, I'd run the other way. I'd be scared to death that my company would suddenly become the target of something like that and I'd be on the unemployment line.
