Obviously, as journalists, we on The Advocate's editorial staff are word people. Also, the movement we chronicle is well aware of the power of words. As an Advocate copy editor (read: enforcer of language rules) for the past 15 years, I've seen the language we use to describe ourselves and our movement evolve, and a look at our archives reveals even more changes.
