    I can't keep up with the terminology.

    I just got told that the world "homosexual" is outdated and slightly offensive.
    Now I'm supposed to use, "MLM." (Men-Loving-Men)

    Publishing a dictionary wouldn't do any good because it would be outdated
    before it was printed!

    How is anyone supposed to make sure they have the right search terms ?

            You’re not supposed to understand it. It’s dialectical materialism. It’s how they slip new terms into the dictionary to control words to control conversation.

                The UK gov has a style guide on ethnicity, and even they ask "help us stay up to date".

                While after conducting surveys on what terminology to use in the health service, it was found that:

                    Seriously, I'm a fan of sharia law. However, I'm just going to stay focused on making money.
                    I've got to figure out these terms to cater to these groups.

                        I spoke to a gay guy I know years ago about the preferred terminology. "Gay" just seemed too - I don't know, abrupt - almost crude, while "homosexual" seemed more clinically accurate.

                        He told me that he preferred the term "gay" because "homosexual" includes "=sexual" which he felt was misleading because most gay people he knew were abstinent.

                        So, in summary, in the case of gay porn, I guess if you see 2 guys going at it, it would be OK to say "Hey, look at those homosexuals" but saying the same thing about 2 guys just having coffee together would be wholly inappropriate.

                          Believe it or not, I'm from the era when Gay meant 'Happy' - I still default to that when I hear it.
