Well yes unfortunately it has become a common insult, but that doesn't mean it's ok to say it. I'm sure that the vast majority of people who use the word 'gay' as an insult aren't homophobic, but it is an unacceptable thing to say.
Cookie, I have seen fake and gay being used as well. I did not say calling someone "gay" didn't offend homosexuals. You are twisting my words around and I don't appreciate it. I said calling someone "gay" doesn't make one a homophobic. Today, people use the term "gay" willy-nilly, without thinking about the effects of what they say. Especially since so many others use it. Therefore, it doesn't make one a homophobic, but ignorant. No offense BadBoy.
I apologise if you feel that I twisted your words. Yep I completely agree it's not necessarily indicative of a homophobe, but I can't let it pass either.
Haaaa I nearly got silenced for being abused. I know my friend got silenced and this is hilarious. I'm just glad atleast one person got they're commupence..
