i hate that phraseology. it continues to be an epithet wielded by slavering bullies

This!! !

Both are challenging in themselves, but for me being gay has been the "less challenging" of the two.

I swear, anyone who aspires to be "normal" with these traits is commendably brave ... or perhaps just unimaginative.

Hans Asperger himself noted that the children he studied were more likely to have more "deviant" sexual tendencies than NTs, including homosexuality. For the record, I am also quite gay.

I hear you. But I believe that we are reclaiming the word.

i much prefer the term "musical" - that was the euphenism that rock hudson liked to use.

I can see both sides of this, and more. It totally depends on context, tone of voice when said, to whom and why etc.

I do see how it is still a derogatory slang word, but on the other hand there are certain situations where it's either quite funny, or IMO quite applicable. ie funny in jokes, or jokes amongst friends (allllmost comparable to "the N word," being used amongst blacks, in a way.. sorta.) and same goes for application depending on context and definition, as at least around here and among my friends it is used to describe a certain stereotypical flamboyantly queer subset of the gay community that like to hang around the downtown club scene looking & acting as rainbow bright gay in your face queer as possible on purpose as their style or "persona." And to me, that application & definition just works and I don't find it offensive or rude, just sort of matter of fact based on that definition and application. Yet I still see the potential for offence, as one of the guys we might refer to as that may not care for the label one bit - but so far there just isn't a better word to describe those guys. :p

I'm an Aspie, queer as hell, and look like a girl to boot. To repeat what everyone else already said: one challenge just WASN'T enough!

i'll bet you're a real dish.

LOL I had to look up what that means.

Thanks.

For some reason, I've always felt superior to other boys and men because I'm homo though I know very well sexuality doesn't make anyone superior or inferior. I'm very insecure in general, but being a "fag homo" is one thing that helps me feel good about myself. I've never had any issues about it since my childhood. From my (subconscious) perspective, I only see those derogatory terms used against "fag homo" people are an attempt by inferior people to insult the superior. When the inferior people try to insult us, it only makes them look even more inferior. I'm just describing how I feel.

I'm gay too, I'm also new to this site and new to any type of discussion forumn site in general.

Welcome!
