Hi! I'm a new member to MyChurch and was looking at other members under Grace Community Church and stumbled upon your profile. I find your blog post very interesting. It's definitely not something that people think about until you take a step back and contemplate it. The media has such a stronghold on our nation that we accept whatever they say as truth. I think the ever-changing terminology in our culture is just another example of this.  

It is sad that just because something doesn't sell...we disregard it. I think that the media does that with people too...if you don't have the perfect appearance you're automatically disregarded as well.

Thank you for pointing this out. It's a topic that people should take a step back and think more about!

lol - ok, everyone who can remember using the term "homosexual" back in the 19th century to indicate a pathology, raise your hand

lol - sorry, it just sounded funny (and trivial/irrelevant to modern connotation ....but I could be wrong)

Hi Mike, long time no see.

I was just saying that the connotation of the term homosexual is clinical, hence many gay people's distaste for it. After all, homosexuality was not taken out of the DSM until the early 1970's. Still within the memory of many.

Ok, and thanks for accepting my sense of humor gracefully... I honestly never thought of it as a clinical term, and I'd bet most lay people are in the same boat. The bottom line is, as the blogger effectively pointed out, there is some marketing going on in devising new terms. I'll leave it at that bro. God bless!
