Fwd: [Peace-discuss] Obama gets another one right

[C. G. Estabrook]

Actually, there is no such thing as a homosexual person, any more than there is 
such a thing as a heterosexual person. The words are adjectives describing 
sexual acts, not people ... The reason no one has yet been able to come up with 
a good word to describe the homosexualist (sometimes known as gay, fag, queer, 
etc.) is because he does not exist. The human race is divided into male and 
female. Many human beings enjoy sexual relations with their own sex, many don't; 
many respond to both. This plurality is the fact of our nature and not worth 
fretting about. --Gore Vidal, "Sex Is Politics" (1979)
