Maybe don't refer to homosexuals as "gays". It's really condescending at best, disrespectful at worst. And honestly I don't think many actually are. Just the "woke" ones obsessed with being morally pure. I'd wager that, in all people regardless of orientation, most people would not date/have sex with a trans person.

It is not. Let's calm down.

It is. Just because you might be okay with it doesn't mean everyone else is. I'm okay with being called a "faggot" but do you think that gives me the right to go around calling whoever I please that word?

I literally didn't think anything of it. OP, there will be sensitive people everywhere. I don't give a shit what you call gay people. Homosexuals, gay, gays, lesbians, I don't care.

So it's okay for me to refer to all homosexuals as "Queers" or "faggots"?

If you answered "no", how come those words are bad and unacceptable to apply to everyone but "gays" is perfectly fine? How come it's okay to use ONE condescending and insulting term but not others?

Thanks! here gay is completely normal, whereas in both america and here the other words he's suggested are highly offensive, have a history of being highly offensive. Seen it and heard it from my friends, including "homos" and "homosexual" is super medical.
