Well, that's either correct or incorrect, but hardly offensive, either way.

I promise to not take offence if someone errantly calls me gay. Or straight, for that matter. They'd just be wrong, that's all.

Heh, someone on here recently suggested that I was intellectually challenged; I calmly pointed out the rudeness of this attack upon my character and suggested that courtesy is a better way of comporting oneself, and lo and behold, a moderator swooped in and removed... my post. Go figure ;)

One of my pet peeves is people who look on these terms as derogatory. I have an aunt-in-law and a good friend who are lesbians. They are both great people. I don't see why these terms continue to be used as/taken as insults.

If I were working on something that extensive, I'd probably save it in Word.

 I'm sorry, but I'll always consider gay/lesbian derogatory. I just think it's discusting. If you're gay I don't want to see it, hear about it, or even know about it. Basically, if you act like a 'normal' person, if that even exists, then I could care less if you're gay.

P.S. I have an aunt that's lesbian. Same thing applies to her. If she were bringing her girlfriend everywhere and kissing and stuff, I wouldn't want anything to do with her.

Perhaps less vivid imagining of other people in coitus might help?

I wasn't sure how they could be wrong on both counts but then I remembered "War Games."

Mr. Liggett: Now there seems to be a lot of confusion on this next question: asexual reproduction. Could someone tell me please who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex? 
David Lightman: Ah-heh. 
[whispers something to a classmate] 
Mr. Liggett: Alright, Lightman. Maybe you could tell us who first suggested the idea of reproduction without sex. 
David Lightman: Umm... Your wife? 
[the class erupts into laughter] 

Well, I'm not asexual either, but if you want to call me that, it'll cause much amusement when I tell my wife and girlfriend :) I don't have a male partner to tell, but when I next do, I'd share the joke with him too.

Funny dialogue, though Laughing

I'm not at all sorry, but I'll always consider homophobic bigotry derogatory. I just think it's disgusting. If you're straight, I don't want to see it, hear about it, or know about it. If you acted like a normal person though, if that even exists, I wouldn't care at all that you're straight.

PS: I have an aunt that's straight. Same thing applies to her. If she were bringing her husband everywhere and kissing and stuff, it'd still be just as impolite ;)
