Re: "Rich :-) Vahgner"
"Homosexual" sounds technical and clinical, and therefore colder. I find it
a perfectly acceptable term in the right contexts. I don't find "Negro" an
acceptable term.
However it *does* bother me to hear G-/H- used as a noun. I'm more than just
gay. It's a bad habit "society" has to define us that way, as if we can think
of nothing else but sexual issues.

Is this Latin for more than one Lesbian? :-)
