Stan,
I’m curious why you’d say that.
It may be different in other places, but where I live (Southern California) gay is the preferred term for self-identification by all the homosexual people I know.
What’s “in yer face” about it? Please explain.
i dont see the need for a label. why the need to label someone as gay--homo--whatever. i dont need to call myself straight--or hetero.. i know a few guys who are de facto homosexual--only because they live with another man in a relationship. why the need to identify ?
as regards "in yer face" i was referring to some homosexuals who feel the need to try to create some sort of reaction. as far as i'm concerned--a person being homosexual means nothing --like if they are left handed--or vegetarian. its their life--not mine.
