I think the diversity thing is good; not gay myself but have guy friends who are; not in my firm mind. The pic is clearly for boys but ha ha all the same.

Interesting. In an article on diversity a positive gay test result is “bad news”. Very PC.

A freaky bug eyed black guy with buckwheat hair about to decend on a group of unsuspecting white chix really stands out. This does not mean you are gay, sorry. And if it did just for the sake of a stupid argument, how would that be bad news? This is bigot bullshit and whoever put this together should be sent back to the third grade. It is humorless pointless and hateful on many levels.

Grow up , it’s a fucking joke. Pull the copy of “diversity for dummies” out of your ass and get a sence of humour. People like you are why ALL Americans are steaming piles of FAIL! Stupid liberal cockjaws.
