The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Seriously, Brad, find me another word with that particular meaning. Why are there six words for homosexual, but only one word for - um, that thing I can't describe without using the word "gay" (sissifiedly lame was only skirting the point).

Therefore, queers should drop the term "gay" as meaning homosexual, and use the remaining five. Either that, or stop complaining that "gay" is used for that other thing that's not homosexual but has no other word for it.

of course, if gay stopped also meaning homosexual, then the meaning of the other gay would be irrevocably altered. I do not deny they are linked. And i can see Brad's problem with that.
