    I appreciate you exploring your sense of humour, but let’s stop using gay as an insult.

    I’m having a hard time parsing these. Who is “he”? And who is hearing what?

    Yeah I have to also say, it’s sad we haven’t moved beyond using “gay” as an insult or ultimate put down. As though someone being gay equals being a loser. As a gay man myself, I’ve had a good life and it has been rewarding wealth-wise, so I don’t feel I am less than anybody else. Equal to, yes, but not less than.

    I also wish men wouldn’t say “she” when they want to put another man down. “She’s” just being a little bitch, for example. Implying that being equated with being a female is again, the lowest possible thing you could be.

        I suggest we replace assholes like you with legitimate human beings with good parents. THAT would solve a lot of the problem.

          You’re disgusting need to have a term of “insult” for gay people shows that you’re uneducated, immoral and probably also someone who puts women down for being “females.” In other words, you’re a piece of scum, and being that way is the punishment you richly deserve.

            I don’t think you understood my comment at all. I think people who can’t come up with an actual insult for billionaires and politicians are uncreative.
