Please shitcan the hyperbole and grow some perspective. Until geeks are systematically denied fundamental civil rights, until their very lives are routinely under threat because of who they are, they have nothing on the average gay person, let alone the average Muslim, black, or transsexual person.
By the standards of society, most geeks enjoy very privileged lives indeed. They just lack the social wherewithal to play by society's rules.
