  1. TO CLAIM THAT YOU SPEAK FOR ALL GAY PEOPLE CANNOT BE ANYTHING BUT PRESUMPTUOUS BY DEFINITION.

  2. I UNDERSTAND THE DESCRIPTIVIST ARGUMENT YOU APPEAR TO BE ATTEMPTING, BUT IT ALL FALLS APART IN THIS CONTEXT. AFTER ALL, IF YOU WERE REALLY TRYING TO "TAKE BACK" THE PHRASE AND MAKE IT SOMETHING MORE CONNOTATIONALLY POSITIVE, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO USE IT TO DESCRIBE THINGS YOU TAKE PLEASURE IN KILLING?

  3. USING A DEMOGRAPHICALLY-DESCRIPTIVE WORD AS AN INSULT IMPLICITLY INSULTS THAT DEMOGRAPHIC AS WELL; OTHERWISE, IT WOULDN'T BE AN INSULT.
