I'm straight and post on the subject of homosexuality quite often. My sis is gay and most of my friends stem from her social circle, which is primarily gay (I'm only a year younger so most of her friends ended up being mine as well) so often I do answer questions concerning homosexuality in this forum. I used to make it a point to call her a "lesbian" instead of using the generic term "gay" but one day she told me there was no need, she refers to herself as gay most of the time and she told me I was trying too hard to be politically correct. But, the other day I referred to a casual acquaintance as gay and she jumped all over me about it, telling me she was a lesbian and never to call her gay again, in no uncertain terms. Honestly, she was so nasty about it I got tears in my eyes. My sis is 51 and the person who got angry with me is 23. Can I get some opinions on this from womyn of all ages? Thanks very much.
