It seems to me that it is more important to speak out against the use of “gay” as an insult and to denounce those who do so as homophobic.

- joe_computer 13y agoI wasn't trying to be nit-picky, as nekopa discerned. I am aware of the derogatory connotation and choosing to dismiss the homophobic person by treating them like an ignorant child. I've rarely seen argument ever convince someone they're wrong; Instead, I do not legitimize their bigotry and save myself valuable time. Like a person using a racial slur -- they immediately demonstrate the quality of their character.
