Can't say that I'm offended at all. As long as the people who belong to the groups don't find it offensive, why should I? Frankly, I think some of these names demonstrate -- at the very least -- a sense of humor and may be they are demonstrating their creativity.
In my mind, it's about time that the stigma around mental illness dissolved. Don't think I would join a group like this, however, because that's not my tendency, but I think they should be available for those who are more inclined -- and under whatever name they choose.
