Victims of discrimination? No, homosexuals are today’s leisure class…

At the occasion of the Gay Pride parade that was held today in Brussels, Belgian daily La Libre Belgique reports that homosexuals have become the European capital’s preferred tourists. The reason? They have more money to spend than any other group in society. According to the report, gays and lesbians have the “epicurian” spending habits of businessmen: they do twice as many city-trips than average tourists, and a third of them do even five or more such trips per year. Two thirds of them spend more than 3000 Euro per year on their holidays.
Coming to think of it, this is not really surprising. Homosexuals typically have no children to spend their incomes on – thus they can spend it on themselves. If they live in a partnership, it usually benefits from a double income. Add to this the various tax and pension benefits handed out to them by gullible politicians and law courts (such as the European Court of Justice in its recent decisions in the Tadao Maruko and Römer cases), and you understand why it is gays and lesbians rather than families with children who can afford a jet-setter lifestyle…
