"Don't Say Gay" is a conservative movement (often referenced in Tennessee due to a bill introduced there) that attempts to stop the teaching of "gay history" and "gay sex" to children in public schools. It's not a movement by homosexual people themselves. Hence, if I understand your confusion correctly, homosexuals do call themselves "gay" but "Don't Say Gay" is directed against homosexuals and the teaching of homosexuality. Homosexual people do not have anything to do with the campaign. Google it.

Around here (the Midwest), there were commercials about not saying that something was gay because it was hurtful to gays. It was sort of an anti-bullying campaign against gays. It was started by the gay community to gain acceptance. So make sure you don’t say that people are gay, but by all means, make sure you take notice of gay people, and not only tolerate them, but accept them and all of their ideals as normal. Just don’t “say” gay.

That’s just fine with me. Let’s call gays what they really are. Homosexuals. “Gay” used to mean happy when I was a kid. I love how words’ meanings are all being changed (sarcasm). And not just words, but symbols, too. Rainbows used to be a sign from God of hope in the world. Now it means you’re homosexual. Great (again...sarcasm).

Another thing I noticed is that you just joined FR today, and your first response ever is to a post I made TWO and a half days ago. Very interesting to me and duly noted. Before I forget, “Welcome” to Free Republic!
