It’s the correct, clinical term.

Apparently, this person is unwilling to deal with reality.

To the author of this piece: I do have an ‘ear for language’ after having worked as a medical transcriptionist almost the entire 35 years of my working life, and there is nothing offensive about the term homosexual.

But they called us "homosexuals" throughout the piece, and that's not great. It's degrading and offensive and archaic.

Homosexual is quite appropriate, but the homosexuals don't like to hear it because it exposes them for who they really are. Their lobby can hide behind the other terms, but they can't hide behind the real, medical descriptor: homosexual.

Again, I don’t mean to opinionated about it, but if you don’t hear the negative nuance in the word homosexual, it’s either because you’re not listening, or more likely, you don’t have an ear for language.

In plain language, this professional homosexual is full of crap.

First, the clinical nature of the term. It's a scientific word that mildly dehumanizes gay people by suggesting that they have a medical or psychological condition.

Homosexuals do have a psychological problem!

I can think of a whole lot of other terms if they prefer. I just can’t post them on FreeRepublic.

Excuse me but gay used to mean cheerfully happy but that didn’t stop homosexuals from corrupting the word. They are what they are.
