Quit being "politically correct", CG. "Queer" is what they call themselves. So why can't we refer to them as "queer"? You are posting about a subject about which you have not taken the time to become informed.

What does it really matter it is not hurting anyone my guess is that you just need to feel that you are powerful and by saying what you say makes you feel this way.
I'll go as far as saying if you were not such a redneck or whatever you want ot call yourself you would get over it.
Do you sleep well at night?
Do you think it is ok for women to vote?
Do you help around the house or is that womens work?
So sad so very, very sad.

I am not PC. In the title of a post it is not appropriate to be on our home page. And if you want to discuss it, post it (in a topic) fine. But I can say what I think too.
