To: What is the bottom line
I'm glad you share my misgivings about that word, "pro-homosexualist." I hate it when conservatives participate in the debasement of our language and coin neologisms at the drop of a hat.

I believe the term homosexualist was coined by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams and it sounds pretty good to me; however, the term pro homosexualist seems redundant.

I'm don't like 'pro-homosexualist', but 'homosexualist' is no neologism. Auberon Waugh was using it over 20 years ago to describe what we might otherwise call homosexual activists or people who were pro-homosexuality. And even if it were a true neologism, it's reasonable to coin a new word to describe a new phenomenon.
