Well, I am already "suspect".
I thought it was a cute handle at the time...
I was thinking of pet gerbils, and a little gerbil screaming at the top of its little lungs.
Unfortunately, some aspects of the LGBT lifestyle have ruined certain word associations - gay is homosexual rather than simply happy, rainbow is a gay pan-sexual symbol not just a pretty spectrum of colors, gerbils are cute furry little rodents some people keep as pets but other people do disgusting things with them...
It is frustrating when certain innocent words are made not innocent anymore.
If I had to live my life over again, in addition to starting some things sooner... I would choose a different screen name...
Don't let it bug ya.
Besides, you have a great tagline.
No worries :) I was just joking around.
Not to be confrontational - but - the negative connotations regarding gerbils was known loooooooong before Jan 10, 2002.
Just sayin'..... :^0
You should try carrying my cross for awhile.
