Tako I assume it is seen as provocative to challenge the side-lining
of the word GAY, by both those who have claimed it.... the homosexual
community...and those who have lost its sentiment,.... the non-homosexual
others. Like it or not, this is a very provocative subject, however, it was
simply another example of how a minority can corral a word which
rightly belongs to the majority. The word tenor being the one I defend.
