Actually it is generally considered offensive and has a long history of being used as a derogatory slur in the English language. Also most gay/lesbian/bisexual/transsexual/whatever people generally just want the same rights and privileges that heterosexual people have. This doesnt mean that there are not plenty of nutcases within LGBT community, but the same can be said for any grouping of humans.

I can see it now:

Beton church of the blessed immigrant from the Balkans, we marry you, I'll personally talk to God later about it. We accept cash or check.

Wish granted. poof!


Father Betonov blesses the wheels.

However, a former Baptist pastor from Texas, who is also against same-sex marriage, has taken it one step further - and beyond - by declaring that he will set himself on fire if the Supreme Court rules in favor of marriage equality.

Regarding the legal aspects of this decision and a few of the other more recent decisions, one thread has run through all: the Constitution, as it now stands does allow for this decision and the others. If the Right really wants to change or preserve certain aspects of what they view as correct, they should then push to change the Constitution. However, they know they stand very, very little chance of ever getting a sufficient number of votes in the House or Senate to pass legislation to put those amendments to the Constitution before the states for ratification, much less getting three-fourths of the states to approve their ratification. So, they revert to filing endless lawsuits in a Quixotic quest to enforce their narrow 'moralities' on the larger population, in general. The really said thing for them is, in pursuing their lawsuits, the inevitable decisions only serve to further diminish any sway they might have and further push away their goals...

Never gonna happen; the old blusterer will probably claim he was misquoted by the liberal, mainstream media and then wait for his Fox News job offer...

Exactly.
It does not have the same ''bite'' in Slovene

Technically, we're all homos.

Really? I thought we are all...Devo!!:



BTW, it's hard to believe it's been almost 40 years since this song was released...

So it means if all humans are homo, and you have an attraction to a human you're a homosexual.
And if you're not a homosexual it means you fancy sheep

Good, one less shoal for the "right" to go smashing their ships headlong into.

Now if we could just get them to leave religion out of everything, and get back to being fiscal conservatives first and foremost.

Well, by the same token we're all literally apes, but that doesn't make referring to black people as "apes" anything except incredibly racist. Context and history of usage does matter! Likewise, we all perform certain bodily functions, but we do seem to have a written rule here about not referring to people as (bodily function)ers here on the forum, even if it's pretty much accurate.

Sometimes it's okay to ask about the use of a term. I've only ever heard it used disparagingly in English before.
