Thread Name: BS: Gay Terminology
Subject: RE: BS: Gay Terminology
"People should be called what they want to be called. It is most important to remember that sexual orientation isn't all, or even most, of what makes a human being."

Who decided that homosexuals should become "gay"?
Do all homosexuals like or agree with the term
Homosexual or "gay", describes the sexual orientation of a person and nothing else.


It's a very old marketing ploy .....change the name of a product to make it more consumer friendly.
Do you really think that people, no matter their sexual orientation,political views,Nationality etc should be able to call themselves what they like.

Should we start thinking up some nice family friendly names for all form of sexual orientation.....the mind boggles....Ake
