hoping it doesn't catch on,, but the LGBT community has worked towards a significant impact on culture,,,,


so, Im sure next we will be implored that fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters are labels that don't matter and we should just refer to each other as ,, I don't know,, sibling or guardian,,,

addressing such superfluous issues is harmless but less productive whereas being proactive in being an agent of change for better knowledge and care for others seems more propitious...

Shouldn't the LBGT community and movement members include the letter "S" in their moniker to be politically correct by also including straight people who support them and live in the same community?

It just shows that higher education does not necessarily equal knowledge.

I don't think its a reference to where they live

we have childrens funds that are certainly supported by adults,, but still called childrens funds,, because they are going to help children

it would be much easier to eliminate pronouns and call people by their names.

you don't want to leave college with $40,000 in debt and your greatest achievement in those 4 years being " I came up with idea to call people by gender neutral pronouns ".

I don't know how easy it would be to eliminate pronouns though

example,,,


I talked to John and John said that John would order the cake for the party. But John would need someone to notify John with the details of how many will attend and what the them of the party will be.


sigh, seems kind of tedious...I think he and him would be easier to use,,,,,lol

I talked to John and the cake order for the party will be taken care of.

John also needs the details on how many will attend.

sounds more like a robot than a natural human dialect, and also leaves out that its John who stated this information specficially as opposed to someones paaphrasee
