It is not representing. Sociologist with an MA in Gender&Sexuality studies here. The great majority of trans people are unemployed, underemployed or pushed to the underground economies. Are there wealthy gays and lesbians? Absolutely. Do they represent the majority? Absolutely not. Especially not when you look intersectionally across class, age, race, religion, nationality.

There is a higher rate of poverty in the LGBTQIAA community (particularly long term hiv survivors and women of color) than in the general population and also a higher rate of double earning households of high income. It's got a huge gap. There is even slang terms for it like A gays and B gays.

Have you visited non First World countries (that is, most countries on the planet) - and had a look at who is at the very bottom of the social heap. And he is not talking about gay cisgendered men, but the broader spectrum of the LGBTQ community. Most of that community is at the bottom of the heap - including in First World nations.

So why shouldn't gay men be stigmatized? Frankly, if they were sexually monogamous and responsible--even for the short-term to control this disease--we would have monkeypox under control. If gay men are the main vectors of monkeypox, then they should absolutely be blamed for its continuance (...and if it mutates because of them 😐).

Underclass is not at all referring to criminals! Where did you get that nonsense notion? Underclass simply means a lower class, for example those on welfare or homeless. Typically it's also used to refer to a class (or classes) LOWER than those generally recognized and discussed (ie. working, middle, merchant, upper, etc).

I was watching The Descendants 3 with my kids. I think it was that one, could have been number 2. Either way, the guy who played HADES, my girl informed me, was gay. Now listen, I don't particulary enjoy the series. In fact, as a Father of 2 and mid thirties man, the ONLY THING I get out of it, are the amazing looking female stars provide me with some staying power as I agonizingly watch the teen orientated proceedings. But the fact that the Hades guy was GAY! That was a revalation. Only reason my daughter KNEW is that shes on the myface and the instatweet and all that shit. So I said, in a moment of ABSOLUTE GENIUS, I said .... "WAIT! Hades is GAY! So does that make him ..... GAYDES?". BOOM! Fuck you! Best joke ever made. Never gonna be bettered! Even got a fist pump from my 15 year old girl. Sick.
