I wouldn't use homo, particularly in public. Langauge can be a tricky thing and is always open to misinterpretation. While I'm the first to say that political correctness has been taken too far, the issue here is that words have the power to hurt, to scar and yes, even sometimes kill. Gay is probably the least judgemental and is currently the most accepted term. I would tend to think less of someone who used the term "homo." Course, members of the club are allowed as much latitude as they like. The whole point of the chant "We're here. We're queer. Get used to it" is that the casual use of "queer" lessens the sting when the term is used by a non-member. On a side note... You say that you're straight. Personally I like "breeder" for heterosexuals as using the term "straight" suggests that I'm somehow "bent." If society were just a little more open minded we could admit that we're all varying degrees of heteroflexible and be done with it. As to me I'm gay. A true Kinsey 6 I just don't find women sexually alluring at all. In appearanace and mannerisms, I'm masculine and I don't really dress well enough for folks to assume I'm gay. I'm also heavier than I'd like to be. And if you think the world has a thing aginst gay people let's not even get started on what they think of people who "run to the cuddly side"

I'm a lesbian and as far as the use of homo, I think it might have that "words from elementary school that hurt your feelings" twinge to it more for gay men than gay women. Overall, I don't find the word a problem, the problem comes when the word is used in a hateful way. Many words that are as you say, used within "the community," are just like the "N-word" as it is used in the black community...or using the word f*g within the gay community, it's a way of taking back the negative power of the word as it was used against people and turning it into something celebrated to be used safely within the gay community. However, even within the gay community (and of late, the black community) that word is still very sensitive. So instead, people use the word homo. But I don't go around describing my straight friends as heteros. They are just straight as I am gay. Why even use the word hetero and risk running into a sensitive situation? Truthfully, using the word gay, bi- , or even queer would be more correct anyway.

Prof but it's probably wiser to call them Dr. so and so unless they've asked you to call them by their given name.
