I'm conflicted. I'm not gay but am disabled. I don't like the word "cripple" myself, but I also realize it may be a generational thing. I grew up as "disabled", and that's what I prefer. It's not demeaning nor is it a coat of sugar. YMMV. "PWD" is the new term, I guess. Neat and tidy when the acronym is used, I admit, but clunky when expanded to what it stands for.
But at the end of the day, I just do not have the knowledge nor the energy to stand up for what (I think) is right in every situation. So, I tend to let certain things like this slide off my back (is that even the cliche I'm trying to use? Still spacy from a cold).
