Please use correct terms - not politically correct Orwellian newspeak

Homosexual....not gay

Sexual lifestyle choice...not “orientation”

Thanks for reading:
First of all, gay would not be an Orwellian term really - I use Orwell as a measuring stick a lot and this doesn’t fit - second of all - I am trying to reach people who do accept the term gay with the piece - and third, when I used orientation I was quoting Sam.

And when someone tells you it’s not a “choice”, ask them what they found to be the most compelling piece of evidence to the contrary. That’s always a fun conversation.

Queer deathstyle not “gay lifestyle”

Homorevulsion, not “homophobia”.
