Is the gay people in the military-industrial complex stuff a meme or real? I can't find actual statistics on the LGBT employment demographics of military contractors like Lockheed-Martin or Raytheon.
A lot of the information available suggests marginalized people wouldn't be widespread in the industry.

https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9955z6.html>>8409It's a meme, they stand out due to (a) incongruence, (b) pinkwashing advertising (less common now) and (c) demographics (e.g. there are possibly more gays in the arms industry than the average across all sectors, but this is partially compositional: some sectors employ a lot more older people, and a lot more young people are LGBT than older people, so if you normalize for age the effect will go away)
if you are vulnerable you can be manipulated
>>8409Gender segregated, communal living with fit young men with strict bottom/top hierarchy would be heaven for a gay would it not? It's like how pedophiles tend to get jobs that deal with children, like teachers, coaching, daycare and priesthood etc.
>>8443Not for verse guys who would be forced into topping
>>8443I don't think most gay people would enjoy the frat environment and fear of being bashed. Also I was discussing the military-industrial complex, not the military.
I was reading a twitter thread about you know who, and personally one reply gave me a lot of insight.
Let me pref reface, this isn't a huge trend but A EXPLANATION
Marginalized communities feel cheated from life and will work harder to close that gap or build community, sometimes, these people will take roles aiding in the empire or supporting the "lesser evil" in their mind because they feel the world order of imperialists have more voter power to "close the gap"
Neo-liberalism is attractive because people don't understand world revolution or care about south exploitation, they care about the fact it will "close the gap"
>>8409>Is the gay people in the military-industrial complex stuff a meme or real?real? they exist year why wouldnt it be? or are you implying they are over represented or something? qeustion unclrear.
