NOTE: This article is currently under construction and being researched. Any suggestions for further examples or helpful criticism would be appreciated on the appropriate talk page.

Like many liberal organizations and the entire politically correct movement (imposition?), homosexuals have developed their own homosexual language as a linguistic and rhetorical device to further the homosexual agenda. As X said, "Language is power", and similar to other organizations , homosexuals have tried to change the way they are perceived by controlling the language that is used to talk about them.

Appropriation of innocent words

• Butch: A synonym for "tough" (i.e. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), it now also refers to "masculine" female homosexuals.
• Daddy: Originally, an affectionate term for a father, it is used among homosexuals who fantasize about their fathers incestuously (see Teens and Older Homosexuals).
• Dike (or Dyke): The term for a dam in the Netherlands, it also denotes a lesbian.
• Flaming: A verb meaning something that is burning, it used by effeminate male homosexuals who flaunt their sexuality rudely and against established social norms.
• Gay: Originally a common synonym for "happy", it now almost exclusively refers to homosexuals, particularly male homosexuals.
• Lesbian: Originally (and still) the name for the residents of the Greek island of Lesbos, it now commonly refers to female homosexuals. The residents of the island have fiercely fought against the theft of their name and their respectability.
• Nambla: A Greek symbol, the upside-down Delta, now is the name of a despicable homosexual organization.
• Queer:
• Rainbow:

Creation of negative labels and phrases

• Homophobe/Homophobia:
• "You're just uncomfortable with your sexuality": used to dismiss the natural discomfort someone feels when watching or thinking of homosexual acts. It implies that the person is uncomfortable not because homosexuality is so reprehensible, but because they are secretly aroused by the homosexual act and are uncomfortable with this arousal. This phrase effectively shifts the blame for the discomfort from the homosexual to the normal person. It also cleverly attacks a person on the very personal issue of their sexual life, which can silence a response just from the shock of the social impropriety of the phrase.

Names of homosexual organizations

• Human Rights Campaign: sounds like an organization that fights for people under oppressive governments, but in fact only fights for homosexual "rights" such as marriage.
• NAMBLA:
