To Azhrarn:
Speaking of people being
"charitable with the connotative load on their words"....

Not knowing better, one might think that all
homosexuals are men, after having read your
article.

I agree, words are a powerful tool and should be used
with thought.

I actually did think of providing either an offensive nomenclature for
lesbians or an apology for ignoring them.  However, I shook my head and
said "Nyeah, this article is long enough already"

The idea I have for euphamisms alluding to Gay people is to reverse the
context:

"Is he straight?"
