whoa, no, this is not at all my experience. practically the opposite.

very often queer people make self-deprecating jokes about their communities that are on their face insulting.

this sounds like a good idea to me because I don't think anybody would get it.

it would be like that TV show or whatever who tells the truth, to tell the truth, that nobody ever wins because nobody ever knows when somebody else is lying.

Huh, you know maybe knowing the origin of the joke affects how I determine whether it's derogatory or not?

I did not think about that, but looking back, seems like an easy pitfall.

Good point.
