Sorry, BSer, but maybe it's you who doesn't understand. I love the BS threads — a lot of them are witty and fun and a highlight of my day. It's in-your-face sexuality-as-definition-of-me people who get up my nose. It's like a religious person telling me how offensive my non-belief is to him without asking if his belief is offensive to me. I don't care about a person's sexual (or dress) preferences unless there's some prospect that we're going to get a lot closer than most people ever will chatting or swapping lies on the Internet.

I will concede that it might be an out-BS-you ritual — in this company I wouldn't be too surprised — but if it isn't, it's just a bit over the top.
