[@Rica] Reminds me of something my dad said when I used "queer" as an umbrella term. He said, "Isn't that considered offensive?" When I explained that we'd reclaimed the word, he said, "Can't you just say gay instead?" Facepalm. This was while I was trying to explain the community to him, too. I think he recognises other sexualities now, though. He just didn't know much about the issues at the time.
