This is about being judged; homosexuals do not want their behavior being seen as immoral, but accepted as “normal." It is all about acceptance, who are you to judge me?” And you see this everywhere in the media; anyone who does not accept homosexuality as an alternative sexual proclivity or valid inclination is condemned as homophobic and hateful--in other words judged as immoral himself. "When there are no absolutes to govern society, society becomes the absolute." Voila! It is now here and can be applied to anything including, marriage, abortion, murder, etc......
Very correct.
They knew the word homosexual years ago had a negative tone and so they took a good word meaning happy etc to use for themselves and thus put a positive tone on themselves.
