    i just wanted to clarify this:
    the word gay means attracted to people of the same sex, so a girl who likes girls is gay, right?
    i was told that i had no right to be offended when someone said "thats gay" in a derogatory way, because the word doesnt apply to me. :bang:

    You're right. And if you're offended, you're offended. It's no ones right to dictate how you feel x

    So that person thought that "gay" meant only guys liking guys? Aah, ignorance is bliss, isn't it? Or just face-smacking insufferable for everyone around.
