Some guy threatened to block me for using the word gay. Is it a bad word?

Cause I didn't mean anything offensive by it.

Context matters but online, it’s easy to misread context and inflection. If the person is so easily disturbed that they won’t try to get clarification, than it’s probably for the best. Just saying.

Just say you're using it in the old way, where it means happy essentially, problem avoided.

@Axelerator I'm not and I'm not hiding that I used it to mean homo sexual, cause there's nothing word with being gay.

@MessieNessie I agree, but this is the age of people being offended by small things lol

The word 'gay' hijacked my another group of people. Means nice, pleasant etc. Queers are queers, homo's are homo's call it what it is. Judging doesn't come into it.
@Quizzical I always assume the best and also try to get clarification if I feels it’s negative. Words matter but not harassing someone that unjustly for a misunderstanding.

@JustGoneNow They are potentially powerful weapons in the wrong hands (er... or mouths)

Did you use it as an insult?
MessieNessie · 36-40, F
@NenaRussa No. I actually made a joke question about it and even said I wasn't judging. So it wasn't like I was trying to insult anyone.
NenaRussa · 26-30, F
I looked at the post, it does not look insulting to me. @MessieNessie

@NenaRussa it wasn't meant to be. That guy was just dumb.

He just nuisance. Gay means happy and also homosexual. I don't see any offensive. Maybe offensive to hetero (some people easily triggered for being called 'gay').

Anyway, just ignore him. I won't bothered get blocked if I were you.

No, it isn’t a bad word if not used as an insult....I’m feeling kind of gay today. 🌈
@DragonFruit That’s awesome. ☮️
I say gay all the time and I mean it to be offensive.

Tell that snowflake to shut the fuck up, I identify bisexual Trans, and I for one am sick and tired of these pathetic modern militant queers being offended at every little thing.
@NativeOregonian Over 21 years ago and it kills me still. She was a very special person but I truly believe some people are too good for us. We just didn’t deserve her. I’ll miss her forever. ☮️
@NativeOregonian Thank you for your kindness. 🦋

Screw them, they're hypersensitive piss-ants who can't take a joke. You clearly weren't being offensive and it should be obvious it was a joke. 🙄
