That's cool. We practice tolerance here in The Lounge.

I still get a good laugh each time I hear a guy say he's going to go bum a fag here in Aus... then comes back with a smoke. Ahhh it'll never get old.

This thread is officially gay.

[davepermen]

i guess the real reason was not your use of gay, but the fact that you tried (in his view) to create a censur-provoking thread to test the limits. so he interpreted it as a personal attack.

[beats me]

I think this fits well in the discussion here but I'm so self important that I had to give it it's own thread.

The word Gay to me is similar to every word that refers to color or nationality.. sexual preferences.


Gay gets used a lot at my work place as to describe things that are lame or suck "that's gay" seems this always throws a wrench into what I was doing at the time...?? Bothers me, most will say things regardless in knowing my preferences and this always makes me feel less of a person because of how it gets used, so not only did what ever it was the was referenced as something bad or wrong but also makes me feel like the person is using the word to describe me.??

Possibly something about self-esteem on my behalf but lack of respect on your part!
