I find the list of things listed interesting. I'm surprised that you've had much experience with geeky being treated as a bad thing.
I also don't quite know what "popular" means other than fitting into certain stereotypes especially not being geeky already on the list. (I think that being popular in that sense isn't inconsistent with non-standard sexuality but I suspect that has a lot to do with where on went to both high school and college).
We should be happy that McCain isn't president. If he were, we would not only have this sort of LGBT month we'd probably have a week reserve for bashing the geeks (see for example http://boingboing.net/2008/08/19/mccain-staffer-slams.html )
