Before I do killfile you, Are you, or have you ever been a homosexual?

Why would that matter?

It would go some way to explaining the axe you are grinding.

Ah, you think that only gay people would care about gay people being
tortured to death. Well, that certainly fits with the rest of your
contributions to this thread.

Who is torturing bright and cheerful people to death?

Language changes. We've had to learn to put up with abominations like
burglarize and 'train station', so I'm afraid you'll have to accept that
"gay" stopped having "bright and cheerful" as its primary meaning almost
half a century ago. Check any major dictionary and you'll find the
homosexual (esp male homosexual) is now the main usage of the word in
the English language. Good manners also behoves us to refer to people
and groups of people as they prefer to be addressed, and most gay people
seem to prefer the word gay to the word homosexual, possibly because gay
is seen as encompassing the whole lifestyle, culture, and romantic side
of the gay experience, whereas homosexual is really a technical
definition of a particular set of sexual behaviour. A gay couple can
walk hand in hand without it meaning anything more than saying "I love
you" to each other. Doesn't have to be about sex.
