Does gay 'diversity' require new terms?

Have you ever partied at one of Atlanta's many urning nightclubs or attended a tribade rights rally? Even if you didn't realize it, the odds are high that you have — especially since you're reading a homophile newspaper.

Since the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, there has been a continuous evolution of terms used to describe men who love men, who were coined "urnings" by German researcher Karl Ulrich in the 1860s, and women who are attracted to women, who used to be known as "tribades" during the 17th century.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
