Although I will find it queer to be using 3 seats that have been booked for me on a redeye I'm taking to NYC next week, I will none the less be gay on our arrival, as I get to see my very first Broadway musical. ;) M

>> Perhaps those of you who are offended by JLA's use of the word "queers" would have been happier with the terms saddambuttkissing "peace homosexuals" or "peace sodomites." Or perhaps you would rid us of these most valid terms also simply because the words make you uncomfortable.>> How do you reconcile this with <<He clearly was not referring to homosexuals>> Any of those phrases are offensive. You left out "faggot" which would have the exact same effect and meaning. Unless of course he meant peace cigarettes. If he didn't mean queer as a noun and epithet, i'd be very very surprised. And indeed he would be wrongly suspended in my opinion. Assuming any of this is really what happened... Steve
