@muggle: I always say "gay people" or "homosexual" and I'm not sure why I don't say "homosexual people", but whatever.  But again, I'm not gay, and I don't really have any gay friends around since I moved, so I don't really know what's currently accepted.

 

@ashley: Come out to them when you're ready.  I understand that it's scary as hell - my best friend from high school is gay and she's been out for two years and still hasn't explicitly told any of her family, although we're pretty sure they've guessed, and she's one of the bravest people I know.  You are their daughter, and if all is right, they will love you no matter what.  It will most likely take some time for them to get used to it, but things will eventually turn back to normal.  Here's a "be brave" hug.  <3

@muggle394 I personally have no problem with the term and use it occasionally myself. People who are gay just takes to long to say, and it sounds tentative, like you're trying not to offend somebody when all I would want (as a bisexual) is to be treated like everybody else in things that don't include romance.

 

@ashley wesson: don't tell them if you're not ready.  It's perfectly acceptable and normal to be scared (I was so scared I told my parents with an e-mail). But if you really don't want to, that's okay. Coming out before you're ready will only hurt you. But when you decide it's time, I believe that no matter how they react it will make you feel a lot better.

muggle394 - 

Personally (as a pansexual), I prefer to remove orientation from the equation entirely, at most saying "people who are gay". However, I don't think it matters too much.

 

ashley -

Just tell them. If they have trouble accepting it at first, don't worry. Sometimes it takes time to come to terms with these things. And if they don't, well, then they really need to get their priorities straightened out.

I have a question for everyone... How does everyone feel about the term "gays" as apposed to "gay people" or whatever? It just bugs me whenever I hear someone refer to gay people as that. I don't know, it just seems a bit derrogatory to me... The only thing is, I'm not gay, so I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it. Am I totally out of my league here?

My favourite quote from that article:

"My God, unlike LeMay's God, loves all children, not just the heterosexual ones."

So true.
