Just as the video states they had a dress code for the civil rights effort then we should only say drop the word "sex" today. Just hearing the word "sex" causes the common persons mind to fall in the gutter. "sexual-orientation" "sexual-preference" "homosexuality" all have the word "sex" in them and do us a disservice in public opinion. My godmother was gay and didn't like the word "lesbian" so I am also inclined to drop that word also. She preferred "gay". So let's just be gay.
