Homosexual was originally a euphemism for the terms sodomite and pederast.

I used to tutor and one of the readers contained all of the “may, say, gay” words. They always chuckled and I always told them the meaning of the word “gay”.

I never use the word gay when referring to homosexuals. I call them homosexuals, because that’s what they are.

.. to the ears of many homos ..


             


News Flash: that 'bothering' the sodomites are sensing is, in many cases, vestigial shame.

An incessant reminder from Nature that their aberrant behavior is biologically self-negating.

Homosexual and gay are not the same meaning. Homosexual refers to a reaction, while gay refers to a self-identified association. Not everyone who practices homosexuality is gay.

That's what we're saying...they're queer.

I know it takes longer to say but I usually call them people who engage in homosexual acts.

"Gay" is a lifestyle ... "homosexual" is a behavior.

The last thing homosexuals want is for the 97% of Americans who aren't homosexual to judge their behavior. Whereas judging a "lifestyle" is arguably none of anyone else's business, judging a person's behavior is an acceptable -- often necessary -- thing for anyone with an ounce of intelligence to do in the normal course of life.

“Homosexual” or “gay” or whatever term-de-jour, are terms that intentionally obfuscate sexual attraction and sexual acts.

Rather than use the term “homosexual,” we should use the terms “same-sex attraction” and “sodomy.” Same-sex sodomy is known dangerous voluntary behavior with harmful consequences for individuals and society as a whole. Same sex attraction is a condition that is worthy of showing sympathy about and is not in and of itself harmful. And besides, people who have adopted the homosexual label HATE when people make that distinction, because it reveals the truth about them: that they choose the engage in dangerous behaviors.

The response is usually not supportive of that particular act.

Gee, I wonder why ?

Didn't a discussion between William Buckley and Gore Vidal lead to the term "homosexaulist"?

For some, their whole lifestyle definition is centered around a category of sex acts.

The accurate term "homosexual" bothers them. Good -- I'll make sure to use it instead of the euphemism "gay".

yep, correct terminology, as is "queer"...

i only use homo, or queer these days, as in most cases there is simply nothing 'gay' about anything ASSociated with the queer lifestyle that the homos promote...

if they dont like it, tough $h!t, which in their case might be a turn on...
