chellim1Oh, and because they no longer want us to use the word “homosexual,” that means I’m going to be using the word “homosexual” a whole lot more often to describe homosexuals, homosexuals:
TERMS TO AVOID
“homosexual” (n. or adj.)
Because of the clinical history of the word “homosexual,” it is aggressively used by anti-LGBTQ activists to suggest that people attracted to the same sex are somehow diseased or psychologically/emotionally disordered – notions discredited by the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association in the 1970s. Please avoid using “homosexual” except in direct quotes. Please also avoid using “homosexual” as a style variation simply to avoid repeated use of the word “gay.” Many mainstream news outlets’ style guides restrict use of the term “homosexual.”
Instead, of using the perfectly appropriate and clarifying term “homosexual,” upon meeting someone, we’re supposed to quickly make our way through the following minefield: “Use gay, lesbian, or when appropriate, bisexual, pansexual, or queer to describe people attracted to people of the same gender or more than one gender.”

Damn homos... They never quit trying to push it.

selogicCompelled speech is a transmission of expression required by law. A related legal concept is protected speech. Just as freedom of speech protects free expression, in many cases it similarly protects an individual from being required to utter or otherwise express a thought with which that individual disagrees.
