One of the biggest enemies to the acceptance of human homosexuality has been the coining of the term ‘homosexu?

This comment may be familiar or it may not. I am not specifically giving the person who quoted the statement as a reference as people may get distracted by their personal opinions of the person rather than the meaning of the quote. So, people your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.....

Update:

*** to avoid confusion the last word in the question is 'homosexual'.

    I wouldn't say that at all. Heterosexual has been around for ages and its completely accepted. I think the reason it is not widely accepted is because of child rearing. We are naturally programmed to install in our children the needed ideas and values to strive from which we learned them. A 45 year old male did not learn anything from homosexuality or its acceptance therefore naturally he will not teach it to his child and completely reject the idea. So that 45 yr olds child also cannot be expected to accept it either. Of course there are exceptions and those are the people who are ACTUALLY gay or have accepted knowledge not passed down or acquired by life learning. Also in most high schools a and even middle schools its kind of a trend to be gay...which I really don't understand.

    Johnny Anglais quoting from one of the leaders of one of the major European Socialist parties unless I'm mistaken???

    In any event --

    its horse puckey. Every group has a scientific designation, that is ours. It has done nothing to block the acceptance of homosexuals and homosexuality and to suggest that it has is to ignore the real culprit -- the will of people to find a scapegoat for religious or cultural reasons - upon whom they can heap their fears, their guilt and their failings (the original meaning of scapegoat of course). That';s what we are fighting, and we are slowly winning - which scares those who oppose us into redoubling their actions.

    Kind thoughts,

    The biggest enemies of their acceptance are their insistence on kissing/fondling in public and nauseating people...oh, and trying to change the definition of 'marriage'.

    And the number one cause of racism is the word n*****. Oh, wait. That doesn't make any sense.

    Yep, that and people who think they're "intelligent", by saying things like '"homo" is Latin for "male"'. (They don't like their incredibly wrong theories destroyed by being told that "homo" in this case is Greek and it means "same" as in "homogenized" or "homonym".)
