When I came out, I was particularly sensitive to the word ‘queer’ because it was the term my father used before he knew I was gay. However, this makes me appreciate our claiming this word for our community even more. Beyond that, I don’t think I’d consider any phrase offensive. I’m a fag, I’m queer … why would I consider it offensive to be called such? However, even ‘gay’ or ‘homosexual’ can be used hatefully. I don’t care what the pickup full of rednecks chasing after me is yelling, I’m getting the hell out of there. Regarding ‘nigger,’ I think it’s understandably awkward and difficult not to construe hostility for someone who is not a member of the black culture to use the word.

Some people are bisexual and can decide to live as gay or straight. If one wants a family and can find someone of the opposite sex they are attracted to, are in love with and who loves them back, I see no reason why they should not pursue that relationship. However, anyone who is not going to be happy without emotional or physical contact with someone of their own sex should not marry someone of the opposite sex. It’s not fair to experiment with someone else’s life. I have heard people say they could decide to be straight. However, they should not assume the same of me or anyone else. It’s pretty clear to me that they were either bisexual to begin with or are now pretending. Either way, they cannot and should not speak for everyone based on their experience.
