Not that there is anything wrong with that.

 

Not at all

 

Obviously when people are using the word as an insult that's not the meaning they're trying to get across.

^you're such a fag Allen!

 

you too. gay-ass.

 

I don't mind seeing "ghey" so much since that is obviously slang. But I agree that there is an inexplicable proliferation of "gay" lately. I mean that was an "insult" we used when I was 8 years old before we knew any better words.

 

if and when you find that utopia, then i'll stop using slangs like "gay", "fag", "pussy", "dick", etc.

I use "gay" all the time. Started in High School, never left my lexicon. If somebody is offeneded by it too bad. I don't mean it as a slam of homsexuals, just a word with a double meaning for me.

By the way, about half of the gay guys I know use "gay" and "fag" and "queen" all the time. Does not offend them if I say something is gay, because they know I don't have any problem with their sexual orientation.

Saying that using the term "gay" offends everyone who is gay assumes too much.
