It's the word that's most often used to describe how people live. - Will Hunting Apr 11, 10:29 14
- It's also a word often used to argue for the denial of rights to gay people, as if it were something chosen. - znufrii Apr 11, 10:34 13
  - So, what is the proper word so I don't get attacked for using lifestyle - Will Hunting Apr 11, 10:39 12

        I don't hear a lot of people say "I support the gay lifestyle", they are more likely to say something like "I support equality" or "I support the LGBT - Roger More Apr 11, 11:02

      - It's 'Oh, honey' obviously, since znu was trying to help you. -- nm - Shaun Apr 11, 10:47
      - What's the word then? - Will Hunting Apr 11, 10:45 3
        
        If you want to be clear that someone is LBGTQ when describing then, just use "gay" or "lesbian" or any of the other descriptors indicated by LBGTQ - TWuG Apr 11, 10:54
        
        "Sexual orientation." Or "romantic attractions." - ReluctantCynic Apr 11, 10:48 1
        
        Thank you for the legitimate answer. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 11, 10:54
you know this how, exactly???? -- nm - groiny Apr 11, 10:28 4
- Because it's a common part of the vernacular of the culture in which she was raised. - znufrii Apr 11, 10:31 3
  - And which culture is that? - ReluctantCynic Apr 11, 10:44 2
    - You've managed to nail down the relevant points, pretty much. - znufrii Apr 11, 10:49 1
      - My question is -- "How do you know what her cultural background is based on what she said in that quotation?" - ReluctantCynic Apr 11, 10:51
