Now I see why they formed a committee to foster having words like "Gay" and "Lesbian" used rather than "Homosexual." Well, I already kind of knew but the numbers are more dramatic than I would've thought.
Amazing the way it's possible to change perception just by chaning the word used to describe reality from one that actually does describe the reality to one that puts a more palatable face on it.
I've always thought that if gays and lesbians would use some other word rather than marriage, then there wouldn't be any problem with america accepting gay marriage. Sounds silly I know, but it is true.
So what we DON'T want is homosexual marriages. We're fine with gay unions.
