The difficulty with your argument is that you are making linguistic matches across a political spectrum without being specific about the behaviors the words represent. As an example, not sure how it connects to EFF, but maybe you can explain--family values. I believe this is usually taken as a code word for a two parent male and female coupled fmaily with children. I have read a ton of NIFL listserv emails, and this is not what emerges--there is quite a variety out there of family relationships. Are you searching for a political case to make? I'm not sure the labels will get much traction when people with purse strings look below the surface. I wonder what others think. By the way, I like what I know of EFF, maybe you just need to sand down your argument, get down to what the unvarnished wood looks like. Andrea
