Media Matters, the website of choice for Fox News haters everywhere, attacked the cable news network on Monday for using the term “homosexual” in its programming — advancing the peculiar argument that the scientific term has a “pejorative connotation.”
The online “media watchdog” contends that calling gay people “homosexual” is “a practice that’s quickly falling out of favor with major news outlets due the term’s often pejorative connotation and frequent use by opponents of LGBT equality.” Fox News, they chide, “has yet to update its language when referring to gay and lesbian people.”
Buttressing their argument? A weekend piece in the Fashion and Style section of the New York Times entitled “The Decline and Fall of the ‘H’ Word.” In it, reporter Jeremy Peters likens the term to using “colored” to address black people and asserts that the word contains “the ring of disapproval and judgment.”
That was all Media Matters needed to pounce, accusing Fox News of not getting the memo clearly received by the New York Times and other “responsible” journalistic outlets. Specifically singled out were hosts Sarah Palin and Megyn Kelly, although the blog post provided no specific instances of when either of them used the term.
But Fox News anchor Shannon Bream — who Media Matters described as “a pro-discrimination champion” — was caught in the act of using the “H-word” as part of a tweet promoting on a news segment. That tweet, however, was over two years old.

they won’t stop this - ever. If they win, people will be knelt beside a ditch and dispatched with a bullet - all because they have morals and values.
I agree with that so they should use: Fags and Lesbos. Sounds ok to me.
I would suggest “pervert”.
Seems like kind of a queer thing for Media Matters to be concerned with.
> Homosexual is now a bad word?
Yes. It’s used in some of the more modern translations of the Bible, so it’s tainted with evyl connotations. You know, like “sodomite”.
The sodomites prefer to be called LGBTQ, Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Queer.
No chance of that finding its way into the Bible anytime soon.
They are trying to “medicalize” or “geneticize” their sin, when it really sounds more like a mental illness with all those letters.
Use homosexual or queer, their pick which they like better.
This is interesting. About a year ago, during a sermon, my pastor used the word “gay”. Spontaneously I shouted, “You mean homosexual.”
When I say gay, I mean happy. When I am speaking of men who desire sex with other men I say “homosexual” and regarding women who desire other women I say “lesbian”.
Period.
It drives ‘em nuts on liberal sites.
For what it’s worth, when we are dealing with race, I call blacks “negroes” and whites, “caucasian”. That drives ‘em nuts too.
I prefer the term “bone smoking butt pirate”.

Homosexual Negro. Next question?

Because “fag” is so old-fashioned.
Yes, that is the new narrative.
It’s similar to the progressive / socialist / liberal / etc thing, or the negro / black / African-American thing. Verbal jiujitsu.
