no, but my point is that the word gay is being more used as a term of abuse so what else will there be after that becomes the norm, for example?

d's question is perfectly legitimate. BEcause, honestly, if you use any other terms, than Gay, Homosexual, bi, for me at least, anything else you use, is for prejudice reasons (some people do use other terms, not offensive). A lot of the bad names for homosexuals, are usually now used as an insult, to straight people!
We all know, what the offensive terms are, used basically for showing intolerance. Lets not BS, and pretend like we dont know.
So, sorry, if you use any of those terms, its mainly malicious, and you know it. SO dont front!!
Exactly. The papers would be like "GAY JOE WINS X FACTOR" but last year it wasn't "BLACK ALEX WINS X FACTOR".

The same principle applies imo.

How is it being used as a term of abuse?

not quite, as skin colour is dictated by climate and by parents. sexual proclivity may be more nurture than nature. your examples are not on the same playing field.

and that would not be the headline in either situation.

It depends what side of the fence you fall on whether you believe its nature or nurture. There are strong arguments for both sides.

I think discrimination is discrimination whether natural or not. And I do think that if Joe was out as gay then the papers wouldn't stop reminding us he is a gay winner.

Well, If people use it as term of abuse, they are going to use any word meaning homosexual as a term of abuse really

Some call them 'people'.

Sounds preposterous, I know.

I don't find Gay insulting. It's weird but it is an everyday word for some people.

I hate the words fag and queer.
