Fuck you guys, I already said I thought it was used in a derogatory way, which is against the rules.

and that's okay you were mistaken that was more towards the people who wanted it removed regardless.

Oh wait that was just you and Burrito. So I guess that was towards you. Whoops sorry my bad. Also your two post were made after you were aware of being mistaken.

By continuously reinforcing patterns of negativity around the word 'gay' you in fact make it / redefine it for new generations as negative. I see it used at work by Kiwi's, IMO it should stay.
