"This is gay"
"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)

I have tons of gay, lesbian, and bi friends and most of them call things gay....it's just something people say.



Are you a people?

I don't know anyone who is offended by the use of gay as an insult to something. Actual gays would understand, and probably use it themselves. It's just become ingrained into society.

Like things are "cool". An example, Linkin Park, to some are cool. But then to their record company, Warner Bros, they are a hot property. Wow. Hot and cool at the same time.

It's just words man. Oh but wait your GoatBOY...

I use the 'gay' word as a general way of showing that I don't like something.

HOWEVER, if I wanted to offend someone about their sexuality (assuming I knew they would take offence), I'd call them homo-sexual, and be done with it.

Yes, I run over handicapped people with a monster truck.

Don't be stupid.

In actual fact it is me being stupid but I am not bothering to watch what I say on a chat forum.

Since when was "fudge packing" an insult?

People who pack fudge play a vital role in todays confectionary industry, and I don't think they'd be at all happy to know that their job title is being bandied around as an insult.

Tch.
