I was thinking the same thing.
If homosexual is out, how about sodomite?
"The nuance of words changes over time. And while gays were once thought to be mentally disturbed - that all changed in 1973 - the language has not changed since that time." Someone said it yesterday...the new liberal buzzword is "nuance".
He may not be "mentally disturbed", which means he knows right from wrong and he's making a choice. And, what the heck happened in 1973???
I am not scared of homosexuals.
"Homophobic" means "fear of the same". And is the term that should be used to refer to supporters of "diversity"
Given their deviant behavior, I would think that it would take a lot more than a work to "degrade" them.
I've decided that being called a "heterosexual" is degrading and offensive and archaic. I want to be called by the new politically correct term: "Normal." (It goes without saying that people who are not "normal", i.e. homosexuals, can be referred to as "abnormal.")
This game is fun, isn't it?
I prefer “faggot” myself, and strongly object to the abuse of a perfectly good old English word like “gay”.
I think the new term replacing members of the queer nation is fecal obsessionist.

For people who want to be termed “happy”, they sure grouse a lot.
And while we’re at it, let’s drop the word “heterosexual.” That word was only dreamed up to replace the word “normal.”
As one medical transcriptionist to another, there’s a lot of terminology that makes me gag; homosexual ain’t one of them.
PLEASE DON’T USE THE WORD “GAY”!!!
So I guess I should be offended being called a heterosexual. I’m so confused.
You’re both quite right. The term `sodomite’ has been savagely suppressed for being uncomfortably descriptive of those to whom it applies. And a `homophobe’ if properly defined for its Greek roots is someone with an irrational fear of those who are exactly the same as him/herself.
As for me, I don’t fear my fellow straight heterosexual God-fearing conservative gun owners.
An African-American could easily be a white South African who has emigrated to the US.
Expect to hear from my friends in the Avian-American community.
I thought it was fudge packer (often posted with a picture - but I don’t have a copy).
I find it odd that when it comes to the abortion issue, leftists insist we use the medical terms zygote, embryo, and fetus as opposed to baby and child because these words dehumanize the unborn child and make abortion seem more acceptable. Yet, when it comes to homosexuality, leftists hollar when we use the scientific term, and they want us to use the term gay because it distracts from lifestyle and makes it seem for acceptable. Gotta love leftists, and their play on words.
You forgot “light in the loafers.” LOL!
Homosexual = Exclusively engaging in sexual activities with a person of the same gender Simpy because some have usurped the actual definition of the word Gay does not (IMHO) change the original meaning of the word. In my world, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck . . .
John Aravosis is well known for outing homosexual Republicans. And this scumbag is worried about people calling him a factual name.
