Attraction between and consenting individuals is fine, but mixing greek and latin roots?

Why is there just random drama every so often over a word of the gay? It's just a word & I think it's pretty neat that I can come here to QU and find out about them, not bitch about people not doing anything for _____. Silly anonymouses!<br /><br />And as far as I can tell it's only different from pansexual in that it specifies HUMAN like first Anonymous said. Although of course you wouldn't expect a pansexual to be attracted to trees or anything.T.

Because our life experiences have gone unnamed for generations, thus needing new names.<br /><br />Also, he's not making the names out of thin air. All of these are pre-existing terms.<br /><br />Your comment is like sitting in a biology class wondering why the teacher is just making up new words like mitochondria and mendelian inheritance instead of getting out there and teaching some real science. The words power the movement, our description of ourselves to others are the movement, because in the end truth wins.Cerberushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656395073693185520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-78007439259607179332009-05-11T12:29:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:29:00.000-04:00Another word!!
