Homosexual is now a bad word?

[Salvation]

Some people just can’t handle the truth, can they?

[Daffy]

from the dictionary, definition 3 applies:

GAY
1. Filled with or inspiring mirth; merry; sportive.
2. Brilliant; showy.
3. Loving pleasure; wanton.

WANTON
1. Dissolute; unchaste; licentious; lewd; lustful.
2. Recklessly inconsiderate; heartless, or unjust; evincing a malicious nature...

Therefore, to be GAY (homosexual) is: Loving pleasure; dissolute, unchaste, licentious, lewd, lustful, etc. And so they label themselves.

[Fresh Wind]

I’m sure they have no objection to the word “heterosexual”.

[MeshugeMikey]

I FOund It!

Yes!

theyre selling fast so we had best order NOW!

[blueunicorn6]

They can call themselves anything. I think they are hilarious.

[I want the USA back]

So that’s what they do. They change the rules without telling us and then condemn us for not knowing the rules. Happened with “Black” which became “African-American.”

The point is that anything and everything that a normal person says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, is subject to being called a “hate crime.”

I agree - stop calling a homosexual a homosexual. Call him by the proper name “sodomite!” - one who commits an act of sodomy.

[Gene Eric]

Then use the term sodomites.

Why not use the term “Uranian tendencies” It's an old Victorian idea but it seems to cover a lot of non mainstream sexual behavior.

Homosexuals are Homosexuals. They are not gay. If truth is now unacceptable then the end is already here.......

Working in the restaurant industry in college I met a lot of Gay Guys (I know, shocker, GAYS work in restaurants). Anyhow, many of them could not stand Transvestites (sorry 1980’s term) and I can not repeat the jokes they said about Lesbians. I often wonder how GAYS and Lesbians feel about being lump in with Transgender?

[GOPJ]

The term ‘heterosexual’ will never be a pejorative term...

[RetSignman]

Bonnie looks pretty happy ergo gay homosexual.

"Homosexual is now a bad word?"

"Homosexual" is a neutral, scientific term, "gay" is a propaganda term. The poofters at Media Matters prefer propaganda.

[truth_seeker]

“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.” “

Then why hasn’t the NAACP changed their name?

[RichInOC]

Okay, tell me what they’d have the guys at Fox call Dave Brock.
