When it comes to sexuality, youve gotta know your terms

PhiladelphiaWeekly.com – by Alli Katz

Consider yourself queer? Are you hip to the lingo, and more down with the LGBT (or GBTL, or GLTB) than Chelsea Clinton? Or did your Kinsey score leave you scratching your head?

There’s a whole world of language you might not know about … and the terms matter. Self identity is a careful, political matter, and whether you embrace the terms or not, it’s better to know them than to nod, pretend you know what’s going on and then say something wickedly offensive later.
