I used to rail against this when I was younger but gave up and accepted that as a culture, we redefine what words mean all the time. I also generally use it in a sarcastic sense.

As a gay person, I still find the term pretty highly offensive, but it has become so common in everyday adolescent vocabulary that I've pretty much built up a tolerance for the words.

Its disgusting that I have to do this, but still... I don't really get upset over the word unless its clearly used towards me or someone else in a demeaning manner.

And I posted it because a person with a Renamon tattoo is hilarious.
All the homosexuals out there who have to hear people use these words are offended and feel discriminated, even if it's only culture and without literal meaning. And these guys' and girls' feelings are what makes this use of words inacceptable.
I got your sarcastic meaning though. I didn't especially refer to your post.
So the preceding week was Pride Week in Toronto, and on the weekend I find myself walking down Church Street (which Torontonians know to be the Homosexual epicenter of our fair city).

Apparently a couple guys wearing shirts (and nothing else) felt the need to flirt with me and cop-a-feel.

eeeeeeeeeeee

The designs are cool, but they just seem a bit distracting compared to the old ones. Does anybody else think this?

What if I made the icons grey instead of orange?

But it's sexy when it's orange. Unhappy

Honestly I dislike the fact that they are so large. I think they should be about half as tall as they are now.

Also, I think it would probably be less distracting if the icons were a darker gray on top of the white/light gray gradient.

I can see it being easy to mistake.
They were sitting together on one side of the table, I was on the other with Blue and Elliot. I kinda ripped open my knee so I didn't want to bleed on anything too fancy. ;p
Did you get any strange looks or remarks?

Because where I live even the slightest hint of homo love drives people into a paranoid rage.
People are pretty cool with that sort of thing in Toronto imo
yep i feel perfectly normal in toronto

the waitress also thought elliot and annie were lovers
New buttons are up, what do you think?

10000000% better! They aren't distracting in any way.

Where do you live?

We just had a pride parade here in Chicago, and no one really cares, or tries to cause problems, atleast to my knowledge. Maybe smaller towns do. Some one in my family was suppose to attend one with a friend, but the friend's mother wouldn't let him go.

They are usually held on the North and East side of Chicago, which would be considered our epicenter. To illustrate that, when I was 15, I was waiting for the subway home from the north side, and I saw a 6ft tanned guy in a pink and white halter top with matching booty shorts and purse get off a train. You won't see that in many other parts of town.
I thought the orange ones were a bit too big, but they were pretty sweet. These are nice though! The "Post Reply" and "New Topic" ones would look better smaller possibly... the font anyways. That's just me though Confused
I assume the warning level is there to determine when a person should be banned or suspended?
I am working on the warning system. Expect to see an announcement about it tonight.
