So why do we feel it's okay to call people gay? Because the little boy likes to listen to people? Maybe the little girl enjoys wrestling with her brothers? I'd like to submit that...this does NOT have anything to do with same sex attraction. In fact, the simple act of mislabeling people leads to questions within the person that wouldn't have come up naturally.  Eventually thoughts grow to be what the person feels and believes which can be so detrimental to them.  This can be applied to every negative comment directed at a person.  So lets think about the lasting effects our words can have on people the next time we're tempted to say something negative, shall we? :)
