They took a perfectly good and descriptive word, "gay", and turned it completely into a word that I cannot use. They did it because they didn't like the completely descriptive, accurate, unequivocal, and self-evident word "homosexual".
They took the symbol of God's promise to man after the flood, the rainbow (one of the singularly most beautiful things in our world) and appropriated it to be representative of an abnormal sexual relationship. Now, I cannot even bear to see it on a sign or a poster.
And those are just two examples. There are many others.
The title of this thread is completely on target.
I say, refuse to surrender on the language. When you adopt the enemy’s vocabulary, you have already half surrendered. I call them homosexuals, cross-dressers, perverts, etc.
