He wrote, "Note: The word “gay” in this post, refers to anyone who identifies themselves as LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Questioning) . Though I certainly realize and respect the distinctions and differences, it was simply the word that would quickly and easily communicate within the context of the piece. It was the clearest and best way to address non-hetereosexual individuals in the post,"

The part I take exception to is his reference to "non-hetereosexual individuals." I'm pleased that he includes trans in his intent, however a bit of education is needed since trans isn't about sexual orientation, but is a separate component of our make up.

Still, it was a good post.
