I find it a perfectly acceptable term in the right contexts. I don't find "Negro" an acceptable term. However it *does* bother me to hear G-/H- used as a noun. I'm more than just gay. It's a bad habit "society" has to define us that way, as if we can think of nothing else but sexual issues. > Subject: Re: Nomenclature - Gay/Homosexual/Lesbia Is this Latin for more than one Lesbian? :-) \bob usenet: decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-vaxwrk!peterson /\ arpa: peterson%vaxwrk.DEC@decwrl.ARPA arpa: @decwrl.ARPA:peterson@vaxwrk.DEC
