[Gays] Do you get offended..

[Slowpoke]

I'm not gay, but I don't see how you can use the word gay as an insult.

Put it this way:
If you call someone gay, there's 2 ways it can be taken. One is that, you are gay, so how can it be an insult because its a factual statement. The other was is it's not true, so if it's not true, how can it be an insult?

Not really, say if you were to call someone a nobhead, most people would feel offended although it's obviously not a factual statement.

I'm bi myself - I pretty much use the word "Gay" all the time.

I think the word gay isn't really much of a now, than maybe 70 years ago?

I have a friend that is gay so I have to watch what I say. I always used to say that's gay, or you're a *** but I thought about it and I learned that it sounds stupid and it does not make sense, so I use other words instead.

do you call someone straight?!

[Moh]

do you call someone straight?!

I guess some gay people could be offended by that

The reason people use gay as an insult, is because their using it to referee to something bad, i.e. "That's so gay!". So their not saying something has a sexuality, their saying "That's so stupid" or "That's so ****".

So if a gay person thinks straight activity is disgusting, then they could be insulted by it?
