There are gays, and there are lesbians. I do not refer to lesbian women as gay, and therefore the line is very clear to me. We differeniate between men and women, heterosexual and homosexual, and of course.. gay and lesbian. I understand that other people use gay to refer to both, but I think its an inappropriately vague terminology. If I'm talking about two lesbians, the sex and preference of the above is clear. If I'm talking about two "gays," the sex and preference should be just as clear. I don't need any more ambigious terms.
Sooooo.. that's why I didn't seem a problem with his "I like lesbians just not gays" statement aside from its homophobia. To the OP; I have a friend in the Navy Seals who had a similar "sick" reaction when meeting or talking about gay people. He got over it, but my other friend (still in University) cannot get over it. It's your God-or-Government given right to choose whether you learn more about gay-dom or not. However, if you're getting sick over it... I think the choice would be pretty clear.
