    I think that us queers/LGBT+ should start making up a bunch of dumb slurs for straight haters. That would be f***ing HILARIOUS. So seriously. Hilarious.

    It doesn't offend me, I've never been called any either way, but I don't like it when people use them in general. Especially in my native language. Some of them are just straight up derogatory words and I hate it.

    They sometimes offend me. Some of them, I'm ok with if and only if they're not being used as insults. My friends and I call each other queer as a general name that actually describes 90% of us. But if people are using it as an insult, that's when I want to punch them.
    My little brother uses fa**ot as a general insult for anyone, even if they're straight. He's a general ass anyways, but this just infuriates me that he uses it.
    So yeah, I'm ok with it sometimes. Other than that, someone will get punched.

    The words don't have any more meaning than we give them. If you simply stated "faggot," not directed at anyone, and with no other context, it would be meaningless.

    But the minute, the second, the INSTANT that word leaves your mouth in hate, you have incurred the wrath of Mr. TheBicycle.
