   You're being evasive.  Why?  If a brown dick is a natural result of   
   browndicking, how can be insulting to face that simple reality?

   Vernacular of what group?  Gay is gay, and homosexuals are homosexuals.  A   
   rose by any other name is still but a rose.  Is the word homosexual too   
   honest for you?

   Does that childish device ever work for you?  Are you trying to insult me me   
   by implying that I'm a homosexual?  Do you see the irony?
