Cos the comments are great; here's (grammar nazi: "ARE!") two:

Round where I live, it had recently rained and the rain had moved away, then
the sun came out. All very nice, you might think, until I looked up into the
Tory blue sky, and saw that the gays had been at it again, plastering their
rainbow across the whole 
vista of nature. I am raising a petition to stop this constant hijacking of the
skies by the LGBTQIADHKUY brigade. Who's with me?



It's DISGUSTING! The Pi's board is literally covered with MALE headers sticking
up everywhere. And what do you have to do to connect to it? You have to buy a
LESBIAN F-F cable. And, and they even do THOSE in rainbow colours. Oh, but it's
not a MALE port, 
is it, despite the header, it's a GENERAL PURPOSE IN/OUT. Gender flexible! This
promotion of bisexuality is just as bad as the promotion of homosexuality.
