It's so often not the minority groups themselves that piss me off, it's the bloody do-gooders taking up cudgels on their behalf.
Typical example, I have a good friend who's gay. Openly gay, but not 'in your face gay'. Last year when it was his birthday a group of his colleagues organised dinner for him in a restaurant and were kind enough to include me in the invite, which was .cc to everybody. One stupid bitch, who doesn't know him very well, took it upon herself to send out an email to everybody saying something like : "Some of you may not know that 'X' is gay so please make sure you don't refer to it as he may be offended."
That was Carte Blanche to me. I purposely arrived a few minutes late, wearing a brightly coloured scarf, a necklace, bangles, and a pink shirt, minced across the restaurant, and said : "Hello dahlings, hello sweetie .......... I decided to dress for the occasion." All except the writer of the note saw the funny side, she was livid!
