Regarding your edit to List of characters in Heroes
Hey. :) I saw your edit to List of characters in Heroes in which you said: There is nothing 'wrong' with the use of the term homosexual and is clinically more correct. This may be true, but there are a lot of LGBT people, myself included, who hate the term homosexual simply because it's clinical and because of the whole history that goes on behind trying to "cure homosexuals". It makes being LGBT sound like a disease and something wrong. The term gay is much more friendly. I know a lot of people who idenity as gay, but no one who identifies as a homosexual. That word, at least in the US these days (I don't know where you're from) is generally only used by people who are against LGBT rights. Zach, as a kid in the US, would probably, if he were gay, ID as gay, not as a homosexual. Kolindigo 18:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Clinical is not exactly the word I was looking for and I was in a hurry. I was thinking along the lines of neutral, but I couldn't remember how to spell the silly word, at the time.
I do live in the US and I was, at one time, a praticing homosexual. I am now a Christian with a loving wife and three wonderful little girls. I can't say that I am entirely heterosexual in my thought life, but then we are never completely 100% of anything in our own thoughts. When I was a homosexual, I never really thought of myself as 'gay'. To me, being 'gay' was the same as being a 'flamer' after a while I realized that that wasn't always the case, but the stigma of the 'gay' word is still with me. I was just trying to be more factual. No offense was meant.
PS. I am a huge fan of Heroes! How do you get banners along the side of your talk page? Never mind, I figured it out.
