Btw, "gay" is not a derogatory term, even though you apparently meant it to be.
If you say you're for opinions, You cannot go halfway and only support yours.
Also gay is very derogatory in the fact that I made several people mad by using the word.
"Gay" is not derogatory in and of itself. When you attach an adjective such as "disgusting" to it, implying that someone who is gay is disgusting, then you have taken a societal label and used it to insult someone for something over which he/she has no control. Using the term "gay" is not what made people mad; it was the fact that you preceded it with "disgustingly" that angered people. And I stand by my original statement. For a term to be derogatory, it must make a person feel degraded or humiliated, and being gay is not degrading or humiliating.
Call a a grown man gay to his face.
Stand up in class and call someone gay.
reply to me when you find out that gay IS in fact a derogatory term.
