I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. If someone is calling something gay, they are not talking about you or any other homosexual. They are using the word in a different context. I could see if someone said, "hey Ranting quit being gay," but they aren't. I'm sorry you find it offensive but no one is saying it with the intention of offending you. Like it was stated before, it's part of the English venacular and people using when they don't like something. Like saying something is Jewish. I wouldn't purposely try to offend you or anyone else but it's just something people say.

I think that's really the important part. If people were intentionally saying it to insult homosexuals, it's one thing, but I seriously doubt that's what anyone's intention is around here.

but if you know it does offend them, why not just not say it?

Whatever. It doesn't seem like I'm the only one that thinks the way I do and I try to keep it down, but you can't please everyone all the time.

I'm afraid to post my thoughts on this, for I might offend again... :roll:

Satire? Why yes, I think it is by golly.

Long story short, in the most respectful manner...

I think the Mr. Sensitive should grow some thicker skin, and get a little more confident and comfortable with his life style, so then, such petty comments wouldn't wound his fragile soul.

maybe we should just bring back nigger too and tell black people to grow thicker skin

I'm down for it. If they can say it to each other, then I should be able to say it too.

that's the best comment about this issue i've ever heard - if someone is proud to be who they are, why should they care?

way to be, Snyder

Exactly my point, thank you.

just becuase someone is proud to be gay they won't care about being called a fag...or a black person wouldn't care that they are called a nigger?

the reason there's problems with it is because it's derogatory
