Hi y'all - I agree that language changes over time. I remember one of
my favorite songs as a youth containing the phrase "shall I be blamed
if god has made me gay." Of course, it referred to a happy person and
a womanizer.
This being the case, there is no harm in calling a new phenomenon by a
new name to remove any confusion.
