I am reminded of (the now-banned) **drewtwo99** ’s thread [Disappointed in my friends regarding my birthday](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=691161).

> I have observed over time that birthdays are often very important occasions to gay men and are a big deal in gay social circles

I don’t know whether this is true, but if it is, it seems relevant to the question posed by this thread.
