And yes, that sound you can hear is my forehead crashing through my keyboard.

Aside from the offensiveness of making such an assumption about all white gay men – that we're misogynistic, transphobic, racist, the whole caboodle – does the NUS not see how damaging these gross, negative generalisations are?

Does the NUS not realise that gay men face significant discrimination, just like the rest of the LGBT community? That we're more likely to suffer from a mental health problem than most other groups in society; that we face continued opposition in the job market (lesbian employees in the UK earn 8pc more than heterosexual women, but gay men earn 5pc less than straight men)? Does the NUS not realise that we're more likely to be homeless than our straight brethren; or that we're part of a group subjected to a vile rise in hate crimes in London?

It does realise these things, because it debated them this week – alongside issues such as the alarming lack of access to medical care for those from the trans community and the horrifically high suicide rate among LGBT+ groups. And yet, a game of Sexual Minority Top Trumps has led to the ludicrous decision that gay reps shouldn't get a say.
