It is not a matter of dissing what is politcally correct. It is a matter of very simply and with a clean heart, caring enough to demonstrate respect for folk.

What is the big deal you say about using the word Homo? Well I say what is the big deal about NOT using it?
You are making it as much an issue as the ones who ask you to please not say it.

But don't you think this is an issue of freedom of expression? That people have a free choice to believe homosexuality is immoral, and resist the hijacking of the language by special interest groups?

Other examples of this insidious encroachment on the language are expressions like:
pro choice
pro life
gay
undocumented worker

All are carefully chosen to sound so warm and fuzzy, how could anyone object to the mindset they actually portray!

It really doesnt make any sense that the abbreviation of a word becomes a slur, whilst the word in full is not! And I think it's time the people who find "homo" objectionable practised a little maturity and tolerance.

Hasta manana
