And that was a few years ago before we added this latest bunch of letters. <br /><br />I have to say, I could not disagree with you more on this one.

The same can be said for "Hispanic" as a category. I think if we start adding a letter (or group of letters) for every person or small group of persons who self-identify as Not Really Gay, But I Like Musical Theater and Having Occasional Self-Loathing Sex With Men (NRG,BILMTHOSLSWM)or (my favorite) LUGs--it will soon take so long to type out the acronym that people will use it as an excuse to ignore us.RHKRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249589239548596922noreply@blogger.com
