if he's gonna flip out on the one issue, well you can imagine what else is gonna be an issue. He's an sjw and if you aren't that would have been a problem for you. And why exactly is homosexual demeaning?

It makes it much harder for them to gaslight us into self-hatred when our sexuality is still clearly defined.

I understand that, but why did the guy find it demeaning?

He told me he found it demeaning because it was “what was used to describe us a mental illness” at one point.

Yet he probably embraces 'queer.'

'Homosexual' is the official English term, though. Ironically, people like him would use the word 'queer' to describe himself and other gay men without any hint of irony. Even though 'queer' originally meant weird and has been use as a slur against us. It still is.

He would rather be a manservant than a homosexual. Lol

I’d much rather be a homosexual man than a “queer man”.

I remember the gays boys being called “fucking queers” in my hometown in the 90s. All of this shit that is happening to us again is actually triggering some heavy grief from the times when I defended my gay male buddies from homophobes, even from police homophobes. I was a lesbian but dudes were just gross with lesbians, they were violent with gay men, it was horrible.

This homo defending ppl who are attacking homos is really fucking my head up. All of the homophobic LGBT people are really hurting us that survived literal violence to be free. It’s upsetting

Fun fact: the word "Homosexual" (also "Heterosexual") was coined by a homosexual man and homosexual rights activist by the name of Karl-Maria Kertbeny. That the medical community tried to steal it and pathologize it does not change the fact that it was a word created by and for us.

As opposed to 'queer' which has never been used in anything but a derogatory sense towards us before it was 'reclaimed'.

But no, we should be using queer. Homosexual is wayyyy too descriptive medical.
