I personally feel like it's wrong to use gay as an insult. Like, there's nothing wrong with being gay, and it shouldn't have the negative connotation the ReeliChat community is giving it. There's people in this community who identify as gay, lesbian, ect, and they may find it offensive. I personally do, and that's why I'm making this post. All I'm asking is that you be a bit more creative with your insults instead of using that overused offensive one. Thanks!

I swing both ways, usage of that word as described to me is a sign of a large lack of maturity. It doesn't really bother me it just makes people look really stupid. However the UK slang for Cigarette (starts with an F) is a word that I find offensive. I'm assuming usage of that word is already disallowed here though.
