capitalism is gay for pay 

capitalism gay for pay — the ironic and paradoxical behavior of the American legal system’s penchant of enacting laws against LGBTQ and Transexual people; while, simultaneously having corporate donors lining up to be sponsors for Gay Pride events when money can be made.

Cash Rules Everything Around Me — C.R.E.A.M.

This could be because of the “Double Income No Kids” lifestyle many gay people live, which gives them tremendous disposable income and purchasing power.

Or, it could be based on the deeply conflicted nature our culture has about sex and sexuality in all of its forms.

You can sell a car with a beautiful woman; she just can’t have access to Planned Parenthood, birth control, and abortion services.

Another example is the many versions of “boner pills” that can be purchased.

America, we are there for the erection — just not for the outcome.

An illustrative though not exhaustive list of “Rainbow Sponsors” include:

Ernst & Young
New York Life
Hilton
TD Bank
Converse
Toms

Absolut Vodka
Postmates
Disney (Take that Ron DeSantis a.k.a. The Great White Nope!)

A very interesting list.

One — somewhat unreasonable— response to all of this has been to shoot smaller sponsored consumer products with high velocity firearms.

This will not end well.
Capitalism isn’t gay; capitalism is gay for pay — actually a distinction without a difference.

ex-gay for pay 

A term coined by gay activist and author Wayne Besen to bring attention to the trend that those who profess to have been "cured" of their homosexuality often make their livelihood doing so. Once an individual has built a livelihood around claiming they've gone from gay to straight, should that person ever come to the realization they infact have NOT changed, they are far less likely to admit it for financial reasons.

Most major ex-gay organizations are headed by individuals who often make wild claims about going from totally gay to totally straight while lower ranked employees tend to profess less dramatic stories.
John Paulk who served on Focus On The Family's board of directors and appeared on the cover of Newsweek was very much ex-gay for pay until he was caught in a gay bar in Washington DC.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
