BARBARA WALTERS WONDERS WHY GAYS ARE SO SUPERIOR | 2000-04-15

Barbara Walters did a piece some time ago on the death of so many male clothes designers from AIDS. As everybody had long known, male designers of female clothes were largely, if not all, homosexual.

It has been forgotten, by liberals and therefore by respectable conservatives, that you were not allowed to say that in the past.

AIDS made this fact too obvious to dismiss. So Barbara Walters ended her program speculating about the special brilliance of homosexual males that made them natural geniuses in the field of clothing design. Naturally, one wouldn't be allowed to say that the reason gays control that field is because female clothing design is absolutely a matter of personal opinion, and therefore a perfect place for a single group like gays to take over.

You're not allowed to say that, so naturally that is exactly what I will point out here.

The "special talent" gay males have for designing clothes is the same "special talent" black men used to have for being railroad porters. After all, they were all black, so it must be a special talent, right?

Straight white males dominate the management of most major firms. Can you imagine Barbara Walters doing a piece on how straight white males have some sort of "special talent" for high level management?
