Unfortunately, being oneself the target of discrimination doesn't seem to 
prevent people from discriminating themselves. Look at the Dutch Pim 
Fortuyn, homosexual and yet definitely racist (and disgusting. He once said 
that the only things in favour of Moroccans are their sons. If you want to 
give a bad image of homosexuals, you shouldn't say anything else. Even *I* 
find it disgusting). I even met homosexuals who discriminate bisexuals. 
Seeing people who are so often discriminated for their sexual orientation 
discriminate other people *for their sexual orientation* can make you feel 
rather hopeless...

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
