Well, since it's officially Gay History Month, I thought it would be fun to put some little factoids up during October.

That is exactly what Gay Appreciation Month is all about....
Who "made" October officially Gay History (or Gay appreciation) Month?
That was my original (although sarcastic) point.
Is it Halmark? Do I need to get a card?

Alright, now I'm confused (no, not that kind of confused).
Is it Gay History Month, Gay Appreciation Month, or Gay History Appreciation Month? And if it's Gay Appreciation Month, does that mean it's for appreciating gays themselves (I think my dentist is gay, and I *do* appreciate him - does good work), or is it for gays to just appreciate things in general (like gays walking around and saying "nice lawn" and stuff)

Several organizations joined together in 1994 and declared October as National Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual History Month (LGBHM). The celebration is modeled after and is similar in purpose to Black History Month and Women's History Month. "
October was selected because the first and second Marches on Washington for lesbian and gay rights were held in this month in 1979 and 1987. National Coming Out Day (October 11) provided an additional reason for choosing this month. Finally, since October also falls during the academic calendar year, educational institutions are able to participate in LGBHM related activities.

Oops - sorry I missed that before I posted. By the way, I'm not entirely aware that my dentist is gay, but I guess this is the month to find out

my apologies but this is too good to pass up:
a gay dentist gives a whole new meaning to "I'm just going to use this tool to poke around in your mouth for a bit."

Yes, but did you appreciate them? If not, you should, what with it being October and all. Or maybe wait until March, whish is Gay Dentist Appreciation Month. Though I'm not clear if by "appreciation" they just mean that their fees keep going up.

I was going to point out that many organized religions are experts at manipulating the Bible to support certain behavoir.
But I'm too busy laughing about trucks, gays, lawns, parties, dentists, and the costs of a well-placed probe.

Then you'll be happy to know that April is Gay Truck Appreciation Month!

I am still laughing. People in other cubes are asking me what is so funny! I love the way that just snuck up on me as I scrolled down the thread. This thread should be in a book or something!
