The media may have stopped using it to distance themselves from the politicians and all, but it is a term that describes a person who is same sex attracted. How that is offensive? The concept of homosexuality is a common thing that binds lesbians and gays together. BY definition gay and lesbian means a homosexual man and woman respectively. It is not about using the word in every day conversation. We don't use a lot of words in everyday conversation. It is about the the power of TQs to have the meaning of words woman, female, gay and lesbian changed to center themselves so that all same sex phenomenon are removed.
