Support for Gays in the Military Depends on the Question

can they not tell the difference? (or lack of?)

 

A randomized poll..its not going to be completely accurate. Also considering how few people they called compared to how many people would actually take a vote on this if it were an open poll. What bothers me the most is considering how long some of us hide in the closet before coming out just to be shoved back in if we join the military..not just because of DADT but because of how the people would act if they found out..like high school all over again.. Exactly why I never joined even though all of my friends did.:icon_sad:

Something tells me this mottasa-2009 guy has some serious issues..makes me want to kick kittens. It's amazing how childish some people can act.:dry:

 

Oh, you beat me to it! I was just about to come here and post this article from the Language Log: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2114

Well while it is interesting it is not really a big wonder why this happens. The term homosexuals is more often used by bigots and those who strongly appose homosexuality. Causing people to have a worse opinion of the term homosexual. Where as gay men and lesbians are words more often used in positive media etc.

 

These findings aren't really that surprising at all.
