From our Government : Don't use the Words "GAY" -- "LESBIAN"

This is ridiculous:

the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration wants the words ``gay,'' ``lesbian,'' ``bisexual'' and ``transgender'' pulled from the program of a federally funded conference on suicide prevention.

At issue is a conference on suicide prevention to be held Feb. 28 in Portland and organized by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center of Newton, Mass., a SAMHSA contractor. On the program is a talk that, until recently, was titled ``Suicide Prevention Among Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Trans- gender Individuals.''
