More Offensive Terms to Avoid

Whistleblower Alternate Lifestyles Contributors Ben Dover and Phil McKrevis say because The Blower never wants to offend anyone again like we did with our Homorama Parody Ad in Edition #55 published on June 18, 1991, the All-New Politically Sensitive Whistleblower should always check out the latest Offensive Terms To Avoid in the Media Reference Guide published by GLAAD, formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

For example, “Homosexual” is offensive. “Gay” and “Lesbian” would be preferred.

“Sexual Preference” is offensive. “Sexual Orientation” is better.

 “Homosexual Lifestyle” is offensive. You should say “Gay Lives” instead.

 Don’t say “Admitted Homosexual” or “Avowed Homosexual.” Gaywads prefer “Openly Lesbian,” “Openly Gay,” and “Openly Bisexual.”

 And never ever say “Special Rights.” Say “Equal Rights” or “Equal Protection” instead. Terms like “Deviant,” “Disordered,” “Dysfunctional,” “Diseased,” “Perverted,” “Destructive,” and similar descriptions should also be avoided.

Some other items in our 1991 Annual Gay Bashing Edition might have been mildly offensive to some heterosexually challenged members of our community.

Asked for a comment, over at Citizens for Community Values, Phil Burr-ass says can hardly believe we have to go through all of this BS for just 1.6% of the population with 100 Million Americans out of work.
