As I say I prefer the term to the alphabet soup of LGBT, just a personal preference, that's all. If someone got upset at one of my straight mates calling me a big poof, I'd tell said someone where to get off. Oddly enough, I find the N word offensive (unless applied to Guy Gibson's canine companion!).
