One of the things that irritates me to no end is when I hear people in the TBLG community use the word 'lifestyle' to describe our situations and our lives.

The problem with that word is that it is our conservafool oppressors favorite term to use to verbally beat us down with as well.   It's why I have a viscerally negative reaction to it and why I'm writing this post calling for us to expunge it from our civil rights talking points and intra community discourse immediately.
