Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

This
has always struck me as a particularly thick prejudice: one minority discriminating against another minority who are already discriminated against by the majority, whereas the only ostensible thing the two minorities have in common is the exact thing that means they're discriminated against by the majority in the first place. I'm sure some students would love to have a separate GaySoc, LesSoc, BiSoc and TransSoc, just to ram the anti-solidarity message home even further.
Actually, I think there was a GaySoc when I was at university, as well as an LGBT society. The only purpose I could see for it was to accommodate men who liked copping off with other men but who were rubbish at pulling in clubs (like me - I've never managed to pull when I couldn't hear what the other person was saying and make myself heard in return).
