"That's gay"
2 topics with gay as an insult, have read about "fudge-packing ID nazis" "beardy gay games"
So? When was it wrong to be homosexual?
Am I in Time Bandits or Bill and Ted's or something? Have I ended up in The Middle Ages or Church of England? (I'd say Catholic but child molestation humour is soooo '02)
So what would you say if someone used the 'n' word, or any other racist term 'jokingly', hmmn...'CrazyCol' and 'outcast' are the words that spring to mind.
And I am not stuck in any particular stage of psychosexual development if that's what you're use of capital letters implies. And I like analysing things, leave me be.
Dont tell me you didnt expect that.

Mystique used the term, ACTUALLY.
It was meant jokingly, don't ANALyse everything.
Take the Somerfield thread, for example. Mystique used the term 'gay', perhaps just to mean 'crap.' However, Cyclone then used the term 'fudge packing Nazis.' 'Fudge packing' is a horrible slang term for 'homosexual', not 'crap' or 'stupid.' Therefore, it is just as bad as any racist or any other offensive and prejudice term.
Therefore, by being offensive towards homosexuals, isn't this rather Nazi-like behaviour? I certainly would be offended if I was gay.
The majority of cuss words are on the swear filter to prevent obscenity but gay and ass (recently allowed) aren't so people base their offensive vocabulary around the two words, whether or not they are against homosexuals or not.
It seems people also now use it as a byword for "bad", eg, "the new Tomb Raider game looks gay."
Or something like that.
I tend to say things are gay a lot of the time, but meaning it's crap.
