Signs for 'Gay' Message-ID: <1233@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Mon, 4-Nov-85 10:30:17 EST Article-I.D.: decwrl.1233 Posted: Mon Nov 4 10:30:17 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 5-Nov-85 21:56:32 EST Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 14 The deaf gay couple (they don't make much noise, you see) who live under our house motioned to me the other day that they sign "cheeze twist" for homosexual in conversation. It seems that there is no way to say "cheeze twist" orally without sounding 'femme'. Try it! Aaaaaaaah! There's that ole 'Het' bias showing again. And it even looks like a slam against the deaf!! Or people who live under houses, I suppose. Well, there are those who would take offense if I said, "Good Morning". Loosen up gang! Keep chargin' Ken Arndt
