Gay is fine in desxcription. Gay as a degatory claim is wrong.
I hear it most by 14 year old Boys who think it sounds cool.
Oh, and older men who believe Gays are so horny they'll have sex with a man should they even say anything nice to them.
All of which are stupid. I think it's become so imprinted on youth language that it'll take many years of work to remove it fully. I reckon if we scared them shoud they say it with the punnishment for Racial Charged Dismissal and the copensation bill, it would remove it as a degaotory term. Most who say it don't realise WHAT they're saying most of the time, when I confront them on it.
The same goes for what people used to say for those born out of balck/white courtship. Half-Cast? I have no problem with it (Offended? Non!) and I hate how the PC people have said it's wrong and put words in my mouth. I am half-caste but NOW I'm of duel-herritage. My Mum was recently chastised for not "embracing" black culture cause I am of Duel-herritage. they fail to notice the actual INDIVIDUAL part of it and genneralise, with is hypocritical since they claimn they are pionners for individualism.
