Ughhhh

Dear person on Twitter who I'm not even sure who you are but we're following each other for some reason: I don't care about the "intention" behind it. "Gay" meaning "rubbish" grew out of homophobia, and its use is offensive. And don't fall back on "MY GAY FRIENDS USE IT TOOOO" because I don't care.

(Posting here because I've decided to walk away from the conversation as a hopeless one. I stayed calm, but I won't be able to keep it that way and don't want a fight)

My icon (Simon Amstell quotation) really hits home how you shouldn't use "gay" like that. And a friend of a friend even stopped using it because of that episode of NMTB.

Humour for the win!
