Much the same way homosexuals started a special use of the word "gay" to describe themselves, they also chose the word for the other 98% of the population - "straight".
I prefer normal, as in, "Are you a homosexual, or are you normal?" instead of, "are you gay, or are you straight?"
Words mean things. Changing what you call something does not make it different.
"Are you normal or are you queer?" "When you are in a locker room or rest room with members of the same sex, do you violate their privacy and stare at their genitalia?"
