=====spelling "G" lesson=====

Spell "Gay" with a capital 'G'. We are a people, too!
German! Grecian! Guamanian! Gorgonzolan! Gay!
This clear, correct, common sense and respectful concept
was inaugurated exclusively by Williamson L. Henderson V
when he spelled "Gay" with a capital 'G' in the Stonewall Era
and, officially, when he founded Proofreaders Unlimited in 1981.
Williamson has regularly promoted this correct Gay people spelling!
"Gay" with a 'G' has been on everything that the S.V.A. published.
Quoting WLH: "The Gay community is typically slow to catch on
to almost anything, even when it is read to them in black and white.
The S.V.A. has spelled 'Gay' long before our website began in 1998.
Respect for a person or a people starts by correctly spelling their name!"
