timeshare assault, continued...

...now, the real question is why were WE being targeted? it's true that a number of companies began targeting the gay and lesbian populations a while ago... based on the traditional makeup of the homosexual families and the buying power they hold. that is, to say, we're largely "DINKS". (Double Income, No Kids) They run adds in queer culture publications, commercials during TV shows, support booths during pride weekends... we were just blindsided by the aggressive marketing we experienced. so of course (in the true nature of the lesbian overanalysis gene) we started discussing this. So were we being targeted? well, since neither one of us were wearing our "We (heart) timeshares" t-shirts... and both of us were avoiding eye contact as if it were sodom and gomorrah itself... i'm going to have to say yes. now, HOW? i imagine these entrepenuring salesmen and women going through timeshare peddling orientation... with a special session on "customer identification" Instructor: "Now, THIS is the homosexual male" (points to slide) "...Notice the tailored t-shirt, the evenness of the his tan, the manicure of his fingernails. But the real give away is always the shoes... can everyone see the shoes? ...Matthew, can you identify those shoes?"Matthew: "Those would be Prada, sir."Instructor: (thinks to himself that matthew needs to come out of the closet already) "Good. Now, this is the textbook lesbian. Short hair might be a clue, along with a more masculine dress... but really if you're looking beyond the butch and andryogenous quota... you're looking at fingernails and shoes again. Repeat after me... 'Lesbians are women in comfortable shoes'..."alright... really, i'm done with this...
