I know a lot of black people who use the N word (oooo) and who aren't offended, but there are many African-American people who find a great amount of disrespect when someone uses that word, even another african-american. The same goes for homosexuals. Your friends might not take offense to it but a good deal of them will.Originally Posted by sick4paradise
I realize that nowadays gay is not synonymous with homosexual, but a lot of people take it that way.
Homosexuals were never kidnapped from their homeland and forced to work on cotton fields for generations whilst being beaten, sold and raped, all while being called by a dehumanizing racial slur. Gay was never a slur. The N word was only a slur.Originally Posted by blaqkmagick

i find the term offending since it derogative to the homosexual.
exept that the purpose intially use by this word was the homosexual and the negativity associated with it is now use in other means. and those two word have nothing in common in the current statement. it's exactly like if nigger was now use to state something else. hey it's okay im talking about my <insert random word>. subtile descrimination isn't subtile.Originally Posted by Shinshiva
