I've never cared for the clinical-sounding words homosexual and heterosexual in a social setting, and LPSG is, for many of us, at least somewhat social. If we can't have ass pirate and breeder, I guess gay and straight work fine. I certainly prefer the term gay to queer. I don't care what the growing trend is: I hate the Q word.

I see what you are saying Jacinto!
I was talking with a gay guy, just yesterday (he, my cousin and I met up for dinner and coffee downtown) and he kept using Queer to describe himself, myself and others alike. I didn't find it offencive, but rather weird that he would use a word, that is in most cases deroggatorially used, on the gay/bi/lesbian/transexual community (that's what he described it as).
But (I am most likely going to get my balls cut off for this), I guess it's the same way that white people usually can't use the word
Nigger/Nigga on a person of colour without offending them, while at the same time they use it to refer to themselves (in an unoffensive way). Oh, the wonders of the world.
Anyway, Dee later posted a link in memory of their brief rampage; I think here is a good place to resurrect that link:
