If he were gay, then he could lord it over all his gay friends.

Even if he wasn't gay, he would still cop flack.

This is why I truly believe the term gay is inappropriate for a homosexual person. It has taken a word that literally has a meaning of carefree and happy—and that is not such a bad thing—but placed a societal stigma on it as well, due to bigotry, prejudice and ignorance. The so-called gay community has a lot to do with this as well, by telling others how they should identify. 

I would just rather someone refer to me as homo, but then the straights tell us, who are not gay, that is derogatory, so what gives here? 

I find the word "gay" a rather curious member of the English language. As a child, I thought it meant happy. Then later I learned it meant homosexual. Then later still, I learned from a young girl it meant lame. In fact, she told me that the only thing that wasn't gay, were gay boys.

Every time I turn around, the bloody word has changed its meaning!

There is one thing that annoys me though. The term "gay" can be applied to gay people in general, regardless of their gender. However, the term "lesbian" strictly applies to female homosexuals, while any gender specific terms for gay males are nearly all insulting or unpleasant euphemisms. I don't get that.

Also, I wasn't aware that the term "homo" was an insult. I just thought it was an abbreviation. Is the term "hetero" an insult too?
