The topic of homophobia

[Leetgrain]

The question was not if calling a person "gay" was offensive, but rather if using it to describe something else or using in the place of another insult.

Exactly which is what I think leet missed on my post.

I didn't, I already wrote about that in a previous post - was just writing my opinions down.

Well, where I grew up calling something "gay" signified displeasure for it but it never insulted anyone. In fact, a few of my friends who are indeed homosexual use it quite often. I think it's meaning is determined by those who hear it rather than those who use it...

I personally have no issue with it nor do any of my friends, but if it bothers someone else, I typically avoid saying it for the sake of not hurting their feelings.
