‘Homosexual’ Is Officially A Gay Slur

The results of a CBS News/New York Times poll on ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ reveals that Americans respond much more negatively to the word “homosexual” than they do to “gay men and lesbians.” 44% of respondents said that “homosexuals” should be allowed to serve openly the military, but the number rose to 58% when the term was changed to “gays and lesbians.” That’s a 14% difference.

There are three conclusions to draw here: 1. 32% of the respondents were stupid bigots. 2. 14% of the respondents were merely stupid. And 3. As AMERICAblog notes, “Any time you hear someone using the word homosexual, correct them on the spot. Treat it like it’s a slur. Because it is.”

I don’t mean to get political up in here, since there are a bunch of gay blogs that already do that. Today, for example, some UK bloggers are pissed at two straight rugby players for gay sex Twitter banter. Good job, gay vigilantes! You fucking dumb-asses!

But this is one gay political cause I can nestle up to and cuddle-fuck, if only because we should have started protesting the word “homosexual” years ago. Let’s start now.

  1. I guess I agree there’s a negative connotation to “homosexual” as a noun, but not as an adjective.

    No absolute bans on words, please; especially for us fags because we get a freer pass.
