Yeah, that's definitely the reason. We are now at the penultimate stage in gay empowerment: "We are more fun/normal/nice than the heteros" - it's all over movies featuring gay characters now. The next, ultimate step in empowerment will be - we have just as many right to be bitchy assholes, and you have to be afraid to piss us off.  :P

Ok will check it out. Btw, gay gansters (e.g. The Wire) is where it is at. :P

Oh that too. Actually there are more there I think.  :P

Why would they hate men?  We have so much in common!

The problem with a gay revenge fantasy is you run smack into Columbine.

This is sort of like how Revenge of the Nerds saw the geeks engage in biological warfare, right?

I am not sufficiently versed in the Revenge of the Nerds oeuvre to comment.

Nah. I would think - a "gay correction therapy" facility ran by some right winger fundies. A bunch of homos were sent to one by their Southern Baptist/Catholic/Mormon parents, and came out scarred. Now, one is a fashion magazine columnist, another a closeted politician, another a psychologist, and another an ex-soldier working for the security industry. They found out a friend of theirs - another kid who went to the facility - has just committed suicide - and they decide to go back and serve some vengeance. Btw, screenplay rights are reserved. :P

Edit: or a Mathew Shepherd style thing, where gay bashers are murdered and/or tortured by a bunch of bloodthirsty queens.

Definitely not something I'd pay more than a couple million to produce.

Maybe it could be a gay guy off to kill his rapists. With a tinge of the whole raping the willing.

I can think of a few for Lesbians-Bisexuals, most prominently The Girl Who Fought Sweden's Totally Unrealistic Level of Violence and Corruption series.

What do you mean? Are you saying gays are goth?  :huh:

Where's the natural setting for a gay revenge fantasy?  A fashion magazine?  A Catholic seminary?  Of course not, it's a high school.  So you have one or more gay highschoolers who get revenge for their alienation and abuse by shooting up their tormenters.  That's Columbine.

It's Glee meets Saw.
