          You missed the point. People used to actually say that about Mac users. That comment was made as parody.

            Oh, I didn’t miss the point or the joke. I’m also gay and I heard it all throughout the 2000s and I found it irritating then.

            It was also annoying to be lumped together with Mac users like a monolith of tech illiterate pansies, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

            Sorry to come off as grumpy. The trope just hits a particular nerve with me, but I’ve reconsidered with more context from the OP. All good!
