    I'm sorry, who the fuck are you to be telling someone what not to cry over? And your logic makes no sense because two sides don't have to be against each other for something to be "okay". If you're gonna share your opinion on a thread like this then do it with respect.

    Real talk, if you're actually gay and someone calls you gay as an insult, don't just take it. Turn it around on them. Be like fuck yeah I'm gay. Proud of my community and myself. If someones gonna insult you, just turn it on them so they feel stupid and if they got more shit to say, you take them out of your life, block them or ignore them.
    I don't understand how one can think that accepting hate is the way to go. You gotta fight against it. If someone walked up to me and told me to kill myself, I'm definitely not gonna be like oh okay I accept your insult of you wishing I was not breathing anymore. You shouldn't have the mentality that accepting the cruel words people say is okay. You stand up for others or yourself. One single cannot change this, you are correct, but I believe a group or a community of people who fight and defend against hatred can change a lot.

    Gay men can be homophobic especially if they grow up in a household where homosexuality is shunned and frowned upon, it will keep them in the closet and they will internalize that homophobia and be ashamed of who they are, and then spread that homophobia,That sounds a bit weird and I'm not sure I really worded it right but what I'm getting at is, just because you are gay doesn't mean you can't fuel homophobic and negative attitudes toward gay people.
    Now I'm honestly fine with gay people reclaiming the word, and using it in a positive light but even if you are gay and you use that word to insult someone, especially a straight person, then you are giving them an okay to use that word as an insult, because "if a gay guy is fine with using it as an insult why can't I use it right?????" People do that all the time and This fuels homophobia. And Idk abt u but I'm sick and tired of hearing the word 'gay' being used as an insult and would rather it never be used in a negative light by straight or gay people. Period.

    Just saying, no matter how much you fight for this, there will always be someone that uses gay as an insult in the world.

    Sometimes people just need to grow thicker skin. I use "Gay" as an insult several times and even have gay friends calling me that as somewhat of a joke. If you're gay and it offends you then go ahead and tell someone you don't appreciate it.

    But if you're trying to make me not use it as an insult in my private conversations that you have no stake in, then I'm questioning whether or not we value freedom of speech anymore.

    You're going to be hard pressed to find someone who says "I'm gay", while saying "I hate gays"(so hard pressed, I'd wager you'd never publicly find one). That is a very clear difference of opinion for someone to openly state. One statement would have to be a closet statement. For them to be able to hate gays in this situation, they's have to be in the closet. And if that's so, what makes them gay(To clarify, I'm not saying closet gays are NOT gays. What I'm saying is if a person is not dating the same gender and is actively homophobic, what makes them homosexual)?
    You really do forget a major detail: The jokes were made in private. Bar jokes. Banter with the lads. Edgy memes. Whatever you call them, they were offensive jokes made in private, and I find it a little insulting you think my friends would be so dumb to use "gay" as a derrogatory term unironically, especially in public. They're better than that. If they weren't, they wouldn't be my friends.

    And no, I'm not tired of hearing the word "gay" as an insult because it's either me saying it in private, or it's some moron I've never met saying it in the same lobby I'm in.

    My friend who is bi does precisely the same thing, saying stuff like "What are you, f***ing gay?" really close into the mic over skype. He's the type who doesn't get over-offended unless someone is literally being homophobic on not just making a joke.

    We have the right of free speech. If my friends and I want to use "gay" as a joke insult, we do it, and nothing will stop us, it doesn't make us homophobic at all. It's a goddamned joke. Welcome to the real world, where people do things you don't like, and you can't do anything to stop it. If you suppress our right of free speech, you only create more and more dissent against the SJWs and the far left.

    You're making what I said into something much more dramatic. I said if someone says your gay, just be like yeah i am. I'll have to use smaller words or briefer examples next time, as they seem to be difficult for some to understand.
    Yes, you have freedom of speech, but freedom of speech doesn't protect you from shaming or criticism. If you want to make jokes around stuff people don't like, welcome to the real world ! Where people can call you out for hearing stuff they don't like. Enjoy your stay.

    Everyone's gonna react differently to what other people say about them. Some people are sensitive and others just won't care. Personally, I don't care if someone calls me "Gay" because at the end of the day that's who I am. I don't see it as an insult because it just means I like girls. The people that do use it as an insult just do it because they see it as a "negative" thing to be and that's their business. I can't stop someone from saying something just because I don't like it.

    lmao almost every homophobe i've seen turns out to be gay or once doubted his or her sexuality.

    Somebody once told me about a study on homophobes which is a little too inappropriate for the forums, but it proves my previous point so PM me if you'd like to know.

    I, as a straight person, cannot speak for gay people as I do not know what it is like to be shunned for liking the same gender openly. Heck the first thing that comes to mind when I think of homophobia is some bimbo saying "ugh, you're like, ugh, gay???? that is like sooooooo disgusting ewww" you know something you can brush off easily but from what I've seen and heard it's far from that.

    And if you are a homophobe, to me you're a horrible person. Which is why I hate myself from circa September-March

    To me homophobia isn't to not AGREE with LGBT sexuality, it's to directly SHUN gay people for who they are.
    I personally agree with and respect the LGBT community so don't think I said that for the wrong reasons.
    THATS JUST MY OPINION THOUGH DON'T FLIP AT ME JUST FOR THAT

    Now, I can guess what will happen next.
    Someone will come with a homophobic remark
    Someone will backlash at them
    They will get hated on
    Flame war will start
    And a mod will lock the thread



    Just respect each other it's not like they hurt you physically for being gay smh
