Now, like I said, if somebody directly said to a gay man that they are a ******, disgusting, not right etc, then that is a direct, intended and nasty insult, something which should call for action.

so in what circumstances do you hear people say the phrase "this is so gay"??

can you give me some examples of how it is used that it isn't offensive?
