It's all Queens at Online Poker Room for gays
ComeOutPoker.com's press release.
"ComeOutPoker.com, the world’s first online poker site catering exclusively to the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) community, has launched its real online poker room. While some of the big- name poker sites may claim gay members, ComeOutPoker.com makes sure they stay true to their claim of being the first site that exclusively caters to the GLBT community. This includes raising the community aspect of the site above and beyond that found at traditional online poker sites, as well as offering the first ever gay poker game, known simply as ComeOut Hold’em."
I love what these guys are doing. They’ve found a gap in the market, and they’re going for it – Abba blaring. Let’s see how ComeOutPoker.com calculates their numbers:
“Recent surveys report that the poker boom is still experiencing record growth. An estimated one-in- five or 18% of American adults have reported playing poker during 2005. Considering that there are an estimated 200 million American adults, that means an estimated 36 million adults played poker during 2005. By contrast, it is estimated that 1 in 10 American adults is gay. That means there is close to 3.6 million gay poker players in the U.S. alone.”
Hey, that’s great! While I wholeheartedly support gay rights and would love to see them enjoy a hand (no pun intended) with other like-minded guys and gals, I couldn’t help having a giggle at the following article by WickedChopsPoker.com, in response….
"Now for the record, we have no issues with homosexuality at all. We love gay people in a seriously non-gay kind of way. Gay people are part of the fabric of this country. Without gay people, we'd have far fewer hair stylists, interior decorators, boy banders, cities called San Francisco, and lisps.
But ComeOutPoker--a site exclusively for gay people and trannies--claims there is a stiffly growing contingent of guys named "Bruce," Lance," "Geoffrey" and "Todd" in the poker world, approximating that there are "close to 3.6 million gay poker players in the U.S. alone."
But based on our purely unscientific study which consisted of asking people in our weekly home game, gay people make up a very small niche in the poker community. Like, really f**king small. Maybe more in the "handful" range than the "3.6 million" range.
And after thoroughly and exhaustively combing through every page of the ComeOutPoker website (and then clearing out our Internet history), the site doesn't seem so much about playing poker as it is about chatting it up with other gay people and trannies while you may or may not be playing poker.
ComeOutPoker's biggest draw is probably its chat room.
The Pink Triangle - ComeOutPoker players that LOVE to chat!
It's easy to meet other ComeOutPoker players. Just look for the Pink Triangle by their screen names. That means they love to chat. Players without the Pink Triangle are shy, but you never know WHEN they'll ComeOut! It's always up to you, chat or no chat! ComeOutPoker.com ALWAYS guards your privacy."
And so forth….. It made my day, thanks guys!
