  Agreed however changing the label doesn`t change the object. But it does
change the meaning of a word. I remember when gay meant care free and happy.
  Incidently I support the rights of homosexuals to live in peace with equal
rights under the law. And see no reason a same sex couple can not live a happy
life. I  also believe that they should be accepted as pastors or priest in
churches. However the election of a pastor is still up to the congregation of
the church.
