Ah Yes ...Let's Allow OTHERS to Define Us ...the Language of Who Is Oppressing Whom [View all]
Good grief
Can I call myself a HOMOsexual?
Can I call myself a Queer or a Fag?
God knows I wish I was young enough to call myself a Twink!
Pretty much every word in a gay man’s arsenal can, and will, be used in a derogatory manner at some point. Think Joey on friends being able to make any word sexual – well, gay men can turn any word catty.
And THAT is POWER.
LOL.
