First up, hold the hate mail: I'm a breeder that's very friendly with the LGBT community, and this is an actual question in two parts. The topic came up with friend the other night, so I thought I'd post it here.
1) Gay men are "gays", gay women are "lesbians," but "gay rights" are rights for all homosexuals. Is there a commonly accepted gender specific word to indicate a homosexual male that would be analogous to lesbian?
I've polled friends, and come up shy. The closest we've come is "fag" or "poof" but those have rather specific (and not always pleasant) connotations.
2) In the name of equality, what kind of derogatory names are there for heterosexuals?
Again, we found ourselves lacking. There are a few, but none seem to carry any weight. They're like calling a farmer a redneck.
As a note, this isn't meant to start a flame war, anyone getting out of hand or posting religious banter will gleefully be reported.
