Derogatory use of the word "gay"

[Lee]

Thank you Patti, that was exactly my point. It's not that someone means it to sound bad, but there's a psychology there by equating a word (and not in an ironic sense) with something negative. Even though the intent is not to harm, it still makes people think negatively about that word.

Thats so straight

I know exactly what you mean though Don, the problem is, that type of saying HAS (and still is in some circles) used as a derogatory term.

Regards,

Lee
