Talk:Masala (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] "Queer" or "Homosexual" for Masala (Boston)

• The original disambiguation for Masala (Boston) used the word "queer" rather than "homosexual" for the very good reason that this is the word used by MASALA to describe itself [1]. I've added a hyperlink to homosexual to remove any confusion. Neither "queer" nor "homosexual" is a more neutral term than the other: both, along with other terms such as "gay", "LGBT", "GLBT" etc., are neutral terms with varying shades of meaning. Given that MASALA itself uses "queer" and that this is a term widely used and understood both in homosexual/gay/queer/LGBT organizations and in the broader public, it seems wisest to use this term for disambiguation.
