Your lifestyle is a negative thing is still fairly insulting.

No, you're combining different meanings.

[Carnivol]

That's insulting.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Wouldn't that depend on how gay it is?

No way to guarantee explaining why I took it out/taking it out (which isn't all that different from saying not to use it in that context) wouldn't have also resulted in someone deciding to post to try to defend their right to use gay as an insult.

Not as an insult, as a negative.

What's going on here? LOL

You know, this lil' discussion would've been avoided if one of the moderators here had deleted the g-word (as it was used in the OP - with a negative connotation, no less) and explained why it was taken out.

Since the OP dude used that word in that way, I figure he was still wet behind the ears. More so after he made so many silly mistakes and ignored all warning signs.

Live and learn kid!

It feels awkward.

[Alzaire]

Your post is so restoration Rick. *Shakes head.*

[Rick Hunter]

Then I propose we use "restoration" instead.

Trying to get equality by trying to claim any and all uses of a word is sure to work.

If someone asks for a fag in the pub they aren't asking me who the homosexuals are. If an ill person is described as queer it isn't an implication he is homosexual, if something is gay it is just bad, nothing more...

...and Maria wasn't singing about being a lesbian.

Not all uses of a word are negative. Simply describing someone as gay, for example, is fine...if they're actually gay. Using that description as an insult or as a negative, like that thing is somehow bad or negative itself? Not so good.

[Dracarys]

Of course, because "bollocks" is comparable to the worldwide struggle for equality for all people LGBT and the hardships/discrimination they face. I'd forgotten what insightful, clever people browse the forum. My mistake.

Simple rule - if you're using a word that describes people (such as gay) as something intended to be negative (such as an insult, a description that something is crappy, etc) then you should probably re-think it. Personally, insults make me smile and feel tingly (yes, I am a masochistic bastard) but it's always nice to take the opinions of others into consideration.
