I'm sure they're terribly appreciative of you referring to them as "unhoused" so you can feel just a tiny bit morally superior to those that just call them homeless 😂
I think bums deserve respect and kindness from all of us. A lot of the time bums suffer from mental health issues caused by shame and trauma and that needs to be addressed with care and humility. These are human beings and how we treat our most vulnerable is a greater reflection of how we treat each other as a society. We need to help bums not only out of kindness but out of respect for society and ourselves as a whole.
Precisely. I've been homeless myself and someone thinking I would be offended by being called homeless is fucking laughable
Least of my fucking worries you daft cunt
Edit, just realised myself, and all the upvoters, got wooooshed by suckmywang here with his overuse of "bum"
Bravo 👏😂
Yes but remember, as far as the US govt is concerned, caring for the unhoused (and any other of the many impoverished and underserved of society for that matter) begins and ends with surface-level, performative respect. The kind where you make a banner and raise awareness, ya feel me? They would appreciate it if we didn't ask for more than that. That costs money.

Like changing the word to uNHoUsEd to make yourself feel better without affecting their lives in any way whatsoever? 😂
Fuck off, help them in a better way
I mean, the term before homeless was literally street people. Terms change as they start to sound callous.
And that rotation is pointless in they eyes of most. The important thing is that if being houseless is a crime then society owes these people a fucking house. You can't criminalise extistence.
The only “crime” happening here is from the people who made this law., they should be put in jail. I cannot see how it’s not a crime against humanity - literally criminalising existence/bad luck
How on earth is unhoused any less callous than homeless?
One of these sounds WAY more like unhinged 😂
The morality of this country is such that we correct those who do not use the proper term for the human beings we just threw the fuck out of the state
I actually think "unhoused" is stupid too, but imma just go along with the game and laugh when "unhoused" becomes a pejorative in the near future. Unless you like downvotes (in which case sorry to interrupt your fun) i suggest you do the same, because there are people who do care deeply, and if they're already unhoused why kick em when they're down?
Hell at least It's the same amount of syllables. (Unlike when "handicapped" became differently-abled, 3-5! Grrrrrrr). Anyway i bet we'll only have to wait like a decade tops.
When I was homeless I definitely had less home. Arguably, I was occasionally "housed". I will always prefer "homeless" because to me it's the "home" part that mattered, not the "house".
Probably unpopular opinion: The only people who care if you say "unhoused" vs "homeless" are those who are either not themselves "unhoused" or "homeless" or are "unhoused" by some degree of choice and have the luxury of being less "unhoused" in the future.
