1. I was once a geek...
I will say there is some truth to what is said here, but there are plenty of exceptions as well. Many of the geeks I know are very accepting people, others are right-wing homophobic assholes. It is true however that many geeks don't feel accepted by society and in that sense many of them can really identify with the gay community or other minority groups. The majority of geeks are very accepting people, but like any other group they are far from monolithic and they do have their intolerant jerks among them.
