I thought this but a couple goons said "this is absolutely still a slur to a lot of us" so I quit saying it. But yeah, on the very rare occasion I make reference to anyone individually I just say whatever they say.

It's kind of important to me to stay as current as possible on terminology because I recruit and hire and supervise a lot of college students and need to be able to display allyship in whatever way I can.

In my experience there's never going to one monolithic agreement on terms to use- it varies in a granular sense on a person by person basis and even then it's still fluid. You def have to stay vigilant.

I have some gay buddies that use their worst slurs on me for comedy purposes, trying to get me to say it back. And another buddy in a similar circle would literally reach for a weapon if someone called him that.

I know some older gay women that are deeply uncomfortable with the word "lesbian", but the younger women are perfectly comfortable.

It's all really complex, changing, and usually requires a mountain of context to get right on a personal basis. But I say it's worth the effort.

Lol I've got a late 50s lesbian friend and she very strongly identifies as a lesbian. Her wife who was a bit older very strongly did not consider herself a lesbian. It was pretty funny.

The only time I ever heard anyone say LGBT out loud it was a joke in really poor taste and that dude got fired not that long after for unrelated reasons.

Far too many people who exclaim terms like that spit it out rather than simply state it. Their very saying it is a vehicle for their unchecked hate. I have people like that in my family. Where a seemingly innocent descriptor becomes their weapon against others.

I would say that there are no labels whatsoever - for ANYONE - that are "great." But in those fewer instances where I go with "alternative lifestyle" I choose to use "alternative" instead of the more widely used "traditional" because "traditional" implies a deviation from normal, and gently caress the people who want to equate "straight" with "normal."

As well you should. Go forth, suck dick, and be merry.

See that's exactly what I mean. Simplicity. I'd be down with that except for the fact that there are also plenty of assholes that use it as a slur. I'm 100% in favor of a "taking the word back" situation though.

or you could just take everyones advice and shut the gently caress up about this. no one on earth cares about your take on this.

SINATRA.
Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on Johnson to resign after foreign aid bills pass: ‘If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated’

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/21/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-on-johnson-to-resign-after-house-approves-ukraine-aid/index.html

quote:

“Mike Johnson’s speakership is over. He needs to do the right thing to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated,” Greene said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

quote:

It is still unclear whether Democrats will throw him a lifeline. But they have expressed a willingness to save Johnson, especially after he defied his right flank to move ahead with a foreign aid package that closely resembles a Senate-passed version.

CUT TO:

First Democrat publicly says he would vote to save Mike Johnson's job since massive aid push passes

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/21/ro-khanna-mike-johnson-job/73404597007/

quote:

Progressive Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif. said he would support House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., if the lower chamber ultimately votes on whether to remove him from his job after passing foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.
