That's still offensive to homosexuals. You're implying that gay people (no matter how you spell it, we know what you mean) are dumb.
What if we started using your name as a word that meant "dumb"? It'd be pretty offensive to you.
How is a different spelling with a different meaning still offensive?
I just need some clarification. You're probably right about it.
Actually I believe people are just implying that words can have more than one definition. And if any of those definitions fit, we should be able to use the word. Especially if that word initially meant something else, and was adapted by that community.
lets say, for example, that I feel like posting a picture of a rainbow that has been defaced. Someone from the gay community COULD take this offensively, even if I meant absolutely no offense
In short, words are words, and unless someone is blatently offending someone on purpose, we should take these words lightly.
