I never say the G-word. I say "homosexual" because it describes a clinical problem; it's a descriptive term of a medical illness.

They are not happy and they are not normal. I won't pretend they are.

I use the same word that I used for nill clintoon ... degenerate.

I thought they were proud of their homosexuality. Why would that word offend unless deep down they know the reality if what they do disgusts most people.

I have begun using anatomically correct language. When someone defends homosexuality I bluntly ask .....what do you think is normal about one man putting his penis into another mans anus?

The response is usually not supportive of that particular act.

I learned from a man in a men's organization at my wire's church that to use the word “gay” means you agree. I will never use that word when it means homosexual, instead, I will use “queer” whenever possible. When for some reason that won't work I will use “homosexual”

There was a time when the “N” word which was a bastardization of the word “negro” was very common and not nearly as derogatory as it is now. Eventually the word negro became nearly as bad. Why? Why is “African American” more acceptable? My Great grandfather was born in Germany, am I a “German American”? Of Course not, I'm an American. Show me one African American who was born in Africa and I will show you a million that were born American. I believe that when so called “African Americans, Latin Americans” etc. learn that they are Americans then the race problems will end. By holding on to something other than being American we will always have artificial division.
