A few months ago most of the contributors to religion.jewish
insisted that "goy" is not a derogatory term.  I took their
word for it.  I am proud to be a goy and will continue to
feel free to use the term.  As for "patronizing": no, not
at all.  As a matter of fact I am deeply grateful for the
priestly role Jews have had and continue to have on behalf
of the goyim.

Moshe.  That is, he said that being a homosexual and being alive are
mutually exclusive.  I'll leave it to the rabbis to decide your
question.
