When the Clintons came to power, the Gay (I hate the fact they use that word) movement started gaining strength.

For crying out loud! QUIT using the word! Words have power and substituting their choice noun for "homosexual" is a part of their success. All moral persons must call a spade a gosh-darned shovel by always, always using the word "homosexual" rather than some politically correct substitute. Those who use the word "gay" have been conquered by the homosexual movement and are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

clinton signed the Federal Defense of marriage act. He had to due to public outrage.

I venture to guess even these poll numbers do not reflect the moral outrage at homosexuals. (you are right there is no "gay" or "lesbian" they are all just homosexual practitioners.) An illness which needs treatment.

All moral persons must call a spade a gosh-darned shovel by always, always using the word "homosexual" rather than some politically correct substitute.

The word "homosexual" was invented by a pederast in Germany in the late 1800's (can't remember his name, it's in the "Pink Swastika" by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams - can be read in its entirety on www.abidingtruth.com). He wanted a word which indicate the "special community" of sodomites. So actually sodomites, queers, faggots or pederasts are more accurate. Recently in Britain there was a law passed that the word "homosexual" is too perjorative (sp?) to use, "gay" is the legally accepted word.

Agreed. I have always found that "queer" is a particularly descriptive substitute for the word "homosexual" should a different word be needed.
