Ironically enough, I happened to have an APA manual open right next to me so I looked it up and read the entire section. You're right, they do make an interesting point about the frequent misuse of context by the majority in the usage of "homosexual" vs. "gay men and lesbian women."
Now that my paper's finished, I think I don't have enough to do.
For the record: 1. I don't like being called a "breeder" but it doesn't exactly offend me . 2. I always said "straight" vs. "crooked" but I guess bent does work a little better. And I do miss the old days when "queer" just meant weird and you could bestow that adjective upon yourself without people edging away from you. 3. If I were in a managerial position, anyone with no PTO or personal time saved up who does not use a
legitimate excuse for missing work would face serious consequences with me, though they may not get fired unless company policy calls for it. That being said, I don't think anyone would actually do this unless they a) had PTO or personal time saved up or b) are looking to quit their job anyway and would use this as a way to go out with bang.
