Happy 10th Anniversary to Gay Marriage in the Netherlands.

...and the Horsemen of the apocolypse STILL haven't smote the country off the map.

The methodology for the recent estimate that only 3.5% of Americans are LGBT was all wrong.

D'uh.

I think that the term "breeders" is dismissive and rude.

Was it at the Gay Parade in SF the one time I went? Some other downtown or Civic Center rally I stumbled upon? I don't remember. What I do remember is a young gay fellow in the proceedings yelling "Breeder sh*t!" at some passing couple.

Isn't that how you feel about all labels?

Fine, you found an anomaly. Are you suggesting this happens with anywhere near the frequency that the inverse occurs? Even so, that doesn't disprove my point. It's all about context & intent. That guy's intent was to be a hostile a$shole.

Really? I didn't know that about myself. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I don't think I've ever used the phrase. It's not a matter of context, as SM insists. I can't think of a way it can ever be used un-insultingly.

That said, it's a perfectly good insult. I'll have to remember to use it if I'm ever called a faggot by a straight person.

I'm not a fan of the term breeder, it's generally thrown around as an insult and not in the same context as 'woman'. I also find it inaccurate. We (LoT) agree that you being gay is not a choice. But "breeding" (aka having a child) is a choice and anyone (gay or straight) can chose to have a child. It may be more difficult for someone who is gay (dealing with a surrogate or adoption) but it is possible.
