Flexible friend ... the new Queer Card

A CREDIT card for gay men and lesbians is being launched — in a variety of colours EXCEPT pink.

The Queer Card comes in two designs — one with the word Queer on the front and another with the more discreet letter Q.

Backed by Mastercard, it offers a range of special deals including cash-back options and different interest rates.

Queercompany, which is behind the product, is hoping to attract 50,000 customers. A £2.50 donation will be made to Stonewall, the gay lobby group, when each card is used for the first time.

Within months, the card will be available in olive green, purple, black, blue and grey.

But pink, the colour most commonly linked with homosexuals, is not available because the association is deemed to be old-fashioned.

Queercompany’s Wanda Goldwag said: “We are proud of Queer Card. “We know it is soon going to be the must-have credit card in the wallets and purses of queer men and women across the UK.”

Stonewall’s Angela Mason said: “For many years financial institutions have discriminated against gays.

“I’m delighted that the new Queer Card moves us a step closer to prejudice-free banking.”

I'm well overdue for a post in the humor category...

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is a joke? It sounds way too real.

[Geronimo]

it's real enough...it's just a real pisser to me...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well obviously we need a Straightcard.

[Aura Of The Blade]

You've got to be kidding?

“I’m delighted that the new Queer Card moves us a step closer to prejudice-free banking.”

I'm not sure that will be the effect.

I can see the commercials already (he said wistfully, knowing it would never happen).

Because BillyJoe's Steak and Rib joint don't take no bull. And they don't take Queer American Express.

only to find out after he was a new woman that he was

I really hope this is a joke. This is the first I've heard of it however.

Best Regards, Ivan

Just another overt symbol of perversion. If earrings, butch hair cuts or purple cars aren’t getting the message across, here’s a not too subtle pick-up line for those who practice perversion. You’re in for a little wait if immediately after the transaction the clerk and the customer make a be line for the nearest restroom. Who needs rest stops when you can get your share of filth and degradation at the local 7-11?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Yes, only in my school, Thursday was queer day and if you wore yellow you caught some flack. Now a days I think purple is the preferred symbol of perversion and any day is OK to be obvious about ones filthy choice of behavior.

...and another with the more discreet letter Q.

"I may have to invent a plastic dissolving pen."

[Clint N. Suhks]

The perverts who hang around our local 7-11 are definitely looking for "poooooooooossy". Degerates.

Hehehe…Degenerates maybe but not perverts. I’m happy and glad, oops I mean gay, that they aren’t looking for “booooooooooty”.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Sorry my little pervert friend, there’s nothing remotely comparable between man/woman relationships and those who choose to practice perversion.
