So apparently I can now offend homosexuals by calling them homosexual.

[gate2wire]

“And while gays were once thought to be mentally disturbed - that all changed in 1973”

No it did not. Faggots are still mentally disturbed.

[DJ MacWoW]

Calling them "gay" when they are the most violent depressed group of people that I've ever met is incorrect but it sounds nice. On the other hand, homosexual is what they are and very descriptive which means that by using that descriptive, they cannot hide from themselves and others what they are.

[mountainlyons]

Sodomite comes to mind.

If you don’t want to be referred to as a John Edwards, don’t act like a John Edwards.

It’s really quite simple.

[randog]

In the same way that I still hear friends use the word "oriental."

Evidently I missed the memo. What do they want to be called--"Asian"? I thought "Asians" was now reserved for muslims, or arabs. Can we call them arabs anymore? I don't hear that term much anymore--is it still kosher?

Uh-oh, now I've done it....

[Lazamataz]

Dear Washington Post, please stop calling me a "homosexual"

Alright.

You're a pillow-biting tumblebunny, a real screamer, a "Whoops! Get away! Don't mind me!" limp-wristed, perfume-drenched, legwarmer-wearing pansy and an evil perverter of innocent little boys.

Better?

[GSWarrior]

Poofter? Nancy Boy? Temperamental?

[Jet Jaguar]

Homophobic is an offensive term.

I am not scared of homosexuals.

I demand a word change.

[unspun]

One of the many travesties of this perversion is to corrupt the perfectly good word “gay.”

I think some of these perverts would prefer that just about every word in the language referred to their deviant lust-based relationships.

[Tall_Texan]

Truth offends them.

[Anticommie]

So apparently I can now offend homosexuals by calling them homosexual.

I have no problem calling them fags if it would please their prostates..

[LasVegasMac]

It's degrading and offensive and archaic...

Sun comes up - it's called "daylight."

If the moon is shinning, it's called "nighttime"

And you are a "homosexual."

Don't like the name?

How about, "Twink, faggot, fag, gay boy, fudge packer, hershy highway driver, etc........"

How does that old saying go, "You made your bed, no go sleep in it."

Homo.

Dear John Aravosis, please stop being a “homosexual”

[freekitty]

Then they have to stop using the word “gay”. That’s our word. Not theirs’.

[VeritatisSplendor]

What if I don’t like being called straight?

And I don’t.

Mrs VS

[gcruse]

Be careful what you wish for...

Correspondent: Mrs Truman, could you get the president to stop saying ‘manure’ so much?
The First Lady: Honey, it took me thirty years to get him to say ‘manure’!

[tutstar]

They successfully redefined the word GAY, wonder if they’ll succeed with the word homosexual.

Sodomite is quite accurate imo.

[tutstar]

ping...

[Calpernia]

HOMOSEXUAL

[Hardastarboard]

whether they use the term "gay"

Mr. Aravosis is so 20 minutes ago. I can't believe he's so far behind the curve. The word "gay" now means something that's stupid, pointless, or unfair.

"That's so GAY!".

Are you sure you want to go there, Mr. Aravosis?
