That was only determined in 2010 to be an unacceptable use of the word by GLAAD and HuffPost. It was used by the groups themselves (how I learned it) and it has nowhere near the import nor tradition of slurs used towards gays or minorities. You really need to get over your own sermonizing because you can't even see the truth but for it.I’ve had a number of discussions on that exact subject on this board that have been productive and worthwhile. Discussions where people disagree and part being reasonable. In fact I had a mini one with Ivan in that thread.
That is primarily because it is seldom that people use a vulgar slur for a group of people on this board.
And I used it once and wouldn't be called forth to apologize for that specific one-time use because I don't play that game. You and Ivan had a one-off in that thread. Your disposition of "If you're x, you must be y" has gotten really tendentious. I won't miss any conversation henceforth.
And @Koya, you need a shoulder to cry on. No one is more aggrieved. Oh, that your heart may be atwitter with joy of some sort!
