Yes.
The bible covers it pretty well.

No. Because what the labels describe will forever be unacceptable, no matter what label you put on it.

Think “honey wagon”.

No, it will never end; because, with the left, once they get something they want, they just move on to the next thing.

I refuse to allow the left to tell me what language I can use. I have to put up with the "f" word in almost every movie or cable tv show I watch because the Left thinks it is "edgy". They can put up with the term "homosexual". Homosexual is the proper term for someone who is attracted to the same sex as they are. Heterosexual is the proper term for someone who is attracted to the opposite sex. There is no "perjorative" nature in either term. However, I would like homosexuals to stop using the word "breeder" to describe me just because I had children. I am not livestock.

It will not end so long as those who seek to control the once free speech of others, can get away with harassing people for simply using correct English. We should just ignore the demands of anyone who seeks to dictate English usage for ulterior purposes.

Frankly, what should be protested, is the all too common misuse of the adjective "gay." Exhibitionists, who seek to deliberately offend others by "in-your-face" antics, calling attention to their behavioral peculiarities, should not be allowed to appropriate English usage which was once far better applied to a happy, flirtatious girl, enjoying the attention of nice young men.

No, we are not word police, and will not be able to stop the present misusage; but we can certainly ignore the advice of those who corrupt language.
