1. The word itself doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
2. It's simply too long.
The words "gay" and "bi" are short and sweet – much more pleasing to our ears.
In fact, it sounds like a rare disease.
One that you would probably find yourself in group therapy for.
And I bet it's extremely contagious.
4. The word itself has geographical origins, but — as far as I know — all lesbians aren't born on the Isle of Lesbos these days.
Has anyone even considered how the current inhabitants feel about all this?
5. It seems more fitting for a long-extinct prehistoric reptile.
6. Or some strange type of bean.
7. Some people find the word constraining — not only to yourself, but also to whomever you're dating.
8. Or maybe you're afraid the word will bring about a lot of unwanted stereotypes.
9. The great thing about words? We don't have to use the ones we don't like.
