i don't know, go find a poll.
i think you're more worried about what your dad thinks of your homosexuality to be honest. you even recounted how harsh he would be if you told him you were gay. he would be harder on you than when he find out you were a junkie who stole his tools and his wife's jewelry.
does your dad even know that you have casual sex with men?
smart money is on the fact that your parents are still propping you up after your heroin addiction. if not for them, you wouldn't have even gotten that job at subway as a 30 year old grown man.
will they be there again to catch you when you fall if they know you are a "fag" who will "take too long" to die from AIDS?
anyhoo, you should find a poll. take that poll. take it deep.
You got puns...
You know the answer to the question.
Thankfully homosexuality is gaining acceptable status, it's an inevitable march.
But we're not arguing what should or will be, we're arguing what is.
Progressive minded people are all about language. The pro gay website I linked to said it was undoubtedly devient, but implied that the label should be dropped because it has negative connotations.
Never mind the accuracy of the term.
It isn't about accuracy for them, or you, it's about pushing an agenda.
It's about changing the phrasing of a poll question to get the desired results, if someone sees, who is on the fence, that 54 percent are in favor, they are more likely to be in favor also.
Getting money, and focus groups, out of politics is important.
I always heard that a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet; sadly, in political campaigns, this isn't the case.
