All sorts of gay stuff in the media these days.
Senator Larry Craig - I am not gay. Whatever. It isn't the issue. The issue is you pleaded guilty and there was all of the gay opposition you did for years and years. Trust me, we don't really want you batting for our team. At least I don't. Of course, now he is reconsidering his resignation. At least it gives Republicans some headaches and we turn our attention away from the people who should really be investigated - you know..the lies that led to a war. But, hey he isn't gay!
Jerry Lewis - I seriously thought he had died a few years ago. No he isn't gay. He just likes to say fag during the telethon. I haven't watched the telethon in 80 billion years but I hardly thought it was the venue for calling someone fag. Can't he come up with a better way of asking for dollars? Oh wait...he was just joking around with the cameraman.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Nangle has a new campaign that we only use the word homosexual instead of gay because gay people are clearly unhappy. Do you think he corrected Larry Craig after his press conference and told him to say, "I'm not homosexual"?

I just love this - "If we put a different word on it, the actual thing will change." Granted, language is a powerful thing and there have been changes in word usage over the decades to reflect changes in society that have been good.
But putting, essentially, "green wash" on something doesn't mean that the company/organization is actually doing the environmentally right thing (speaking of language usage, I probably just pushed a metaphor into something bizarre there, but that's besides the point).
