Answer to:
Why do gay women get the pleasant name "Lesbian" but gay men only get the nasty name "Fag"? Actually, "fag" is really only used in the USA as an insult. In Europe, it refers to a cigarette. Yes, dyke is just as bad, and yes, gay men get a lot of mean names. But think for a second. Picture "gay". Generally what comes to mind is a man. Therefore, more male-based names. Chalk it up to human nature.

Answer to:
"Marriage" is the religious union between one man and one woman. Why the need to use the same term to join same sex couples? Why is calling these unions "domestic partnerships" offensive if allowing these couples the same legal rights as married couples? Because the term "Domestic Partnership" means something different than "marraige" in the eyes of the law. For example, my parents had a domestic partenership before they decided to get married. Whenever my dad had problems with his diabetes and had to go see the doctor, my mom wasn't allowed in the room with him to hear what the doctor said. Now that they are married,...

Do you think Tila Tequila is a role model? I wouldn't say 'role model,' but it is nice to see more diversity on television. Some of my bisexual friends from FindBilover.com like her show very much.Also, this show seems less faked and staged than its VH1 I appreciatate that she's comfortable enough with her sexuality to be able to do a show like this and be open with who she is. I wouldn't necessarily call her a role model, simply because of the type of show that it is, where she's dating all these people at once. But I respect her openness and honesty on the show... I'm a loyal watcher. (I hope she picks Danny!)
