My impression is I'm a lot more inclined to coarse language than the general
public in the real world, so I keep anything potentially offensive out of
all organizing talk.  But then me and my friends, which is a mostly queer
group, tend to say things like the below.  You know, my intention is not to
offend, and your probably right that "steelworkers sucking dicks" over the
line for a public listserve.  I do apologize.

But if you're wondering if I use the word 'homo' because I in fact support
homophobia, or think hate is an acceptable rhetoric to organize with, this
proud act up-er can give a pretty firm no.  I was introduced to organizing
in the philadelphia glbt community, but, maybe that makes me wrongly think I
can take it for granted that saying homo instead of queer without it coming
across as garden variety disrespect.  It's been a long time since I hooked
up with another guy tho so maybe that's straight priveledge for you right
there.

For the record, I am completely in favor of steelworkers sucking dicks, and
against fidel hating homos.  But I will watch my mouth dennis.  Projecting
some sort of gritty workerist gay-bashing isn't my intention at all!
