1. well, why exactly? because it suggests it's bad/stupid/humiliating
to be gay? I think it's more the case of using ignorant beliefs against the people who hold them (i.e., republicans hate gays, thus one of the best ways to insult/tease/hurt/anger them is suggest they are gay).

But...should I be offended (as a nice lesbian gal)? Mebbe I'm missing something. I'm happy to take offense, so do say why I ought to!

4. I've largely gotten over trying to get those around me to stop throwing...
...the word "gay" around so fivolously.

2. Probably, but more likely you're being too sensitive...
Does the porn title "Oklahomo" work you up into such a tizzy? ;)

Just relex and let the breeders have their musings.

5. i prefer not to
uphold their biased/bigoted thoughts about gay folk -- especially in this case.

why uphold the notion that conservatives are gay -- because gay is bad?

that's all it does -- it simply goes around the corner to -- instead of head on to promulgate hate speech and bigoted stereotypes.

i'm sure some porn house will make bareback mountain -- and that's hardly my point.
