40. indeed, spider, you are correct -- more gay peopple rejected
the clinical name ''homosexual'' because it was given to us by the straight world.

a ''clinical'' and in the not so distant bad old days a ''pathological'' description of us.

gay people took their own name -- in part because of the slang -- but also as a blatant rejectin of the idea that we were unhappy with our gayness.

that single lie caused more unhappines for gay men and women the world over -- than just about anything else.
