      You are right. Gay-Straight Alliances all over the country are scrambling to change their names now that you have posted that.

        I don't know since I don't pay attention much to conference. I'll have to rely on your memory for this one.

                But I use the word happy over five times as much as I do same sex attraction, so it is really a net loss.

                  Excellent point. It was hiding right there in plain sight!

                  He may have mentioned it before and I forgot. Happens all the time.

                      I don't think I can give a PC ruling, but it elicited an LOL from me. Well done.

                      Funny how people change. I remember reading that article while I was a student, thinking it was a very well reasoned argument. I even considered it magnanimous towards those who prefer donuts but still eat broccoli. Back then, I admired Oaks...

                      Something tells me that Oaks is losing the 'gay as noun' battle.

                        I've really enjoyed watching some of you falling all over yourself in an attempt to be offended oh behalf of homosexual folks. For the record I have a gay coworker who has used the term Same Sex Attraction. This person lives in SLC but is not LDS. Maybe the influence of the the COB is starting to affect gay culture.

                          Simply calling your coworker gay does not automatically mean he suffers from SSA.

                            He's a happy fellow who happens to prefer sleeping with dudes. I don't see a lot of suffering but he's still used the term.

                              Should I play the 'I have gay coworkers' card also? I haven't asked, but I've never heard the term 'same sex attraction' uttered from them.

                              People can call themselves whatever they want to. It's the church's brazen attempt to use another term to try to discredit how the vast majority of gays (both inside and outside the church) describe themselves, all in an attempt to keep their doctrine of eternal identity intact, that is offensive.
