That was a joke, not a insult.

It's one of these threads that was bound to be created one day. As you may or may not know gay/lesbian people were not nearly as tolerated in the past. Don't quote me on this one, but I believe gays/lesbians have been hung in the past. The bible also doesn't support this, therefore, it turned into an insult. It is only recently that this has changed, but people cannot get used to change. They simply don't want to as they believe it's wrong. There has been a lot of change revolving these matters in the past century. Give people time, it's just like the issue with woman rights last century. People eventually accepted it, because they realised they had no influence on them.

Give it time. Things will change, whether people like it or not.
Thanks that gives me some hope maybe, 2069 well see :p

The century system starts at his birth, but our year count starts at his death. He lived for some 30 years. However, people decided to just set the century system to start at 100 years before his death, so for example, the year 1950 would be in the 20th century.
i thought it was because 0-99 AD was the 1st century, making 100-199 the 2nd, and so on.

anyway i'd say its the same as people making fun of you for things like race, weight, gender, so on and whatnot. i'd say take the me approach and just ignore it because you don't care what people think of you, after all, you're you, which means you're pretty f*cking awesome.

i'm just saying that there's isn't a religious motive behind everything ^^
:B But the calendar is still based off of when Jesus was supposedly born, thus there is a religious connection behind this one...?

What did you say about me? I'll have you know I graduated at the top of my class in the Navy SEALS and participated in numerous secret raids on al-qaeda. I have over 300 confirmed kills, you are nothing more than a speck of dust to me.

Im not saying this in a mean way but, a misused word that isnt supposed to be insulting shouldnt be taken as an insult either, otherwise you are just basically making it that.

In today's society, gay is used as an insult, the majority of people use it as an insult rather than a sexuality.

Just like how the S-word is used as a swear word, but it actually means feces.
