Thought this was interesting, especially since CCP took the time to respond.

This kinda reminds me of a guy we had in a guild who was 34 drove a truck and lived in his mom and dads basement. He liked to play female charcters and show his femine side.

An interesting article that is both thorough as it is senseless. Though I agree discrimination in any form is intolerable there are times when we seem to be overly Politically Correct. I don't wish to demean her lifestyle, choices, or beliefs but how about growing up a little? Instead of constantly being offended by someone referring to "gay" as (what she perceives) to be bad think of back even 15-20 years ago. When being called gay was a hell of a lot more preferred than what you could have been called.
You think you have it tough? Try the whole "openly gay" thing in other countries like Iran. There? They put you to death. How about speaking out about equalities in the workfoce here, rights in other countries, or hell, rights in this country. How about protesting for equal rights to marry so that you can decide your loved ones fate just like a heterosexual couple could. Picket facilities that openly disallow being gay while working there (Looking at you Wal-Mart). Fight for rights. Fight for your basic civil liberties promised to us by The Constitution. Look at all the fighting that has gone on to get what you have and help out with the fight ahead.
Lastly, be thankful that gays/lesbians have come far enough in their fight that you are allowed the luxury of being offended only because someone calls something "gay". Also, look at how lucky you are that it's becoming more and more taboo to be made fun of. As a straight white male, we're actually losing ground in this respect. It has more to do with the male part but trust me, it's hard for all of us. Think we get the liberty of filing "hate crimes" in this country? Do what the rest of us have learned to do and suck it up and move on. For too long we've become the United States of the Offended.
Also, if someone says something you dont like, ask them to stop. If not, there's always Right Click > Block.

That article is so gay.....lol I just couldn't help it.
I have no problems with gay people Ive known quite a few gay people by going to raves. But people are just to PC now days its just killing me, I don't care if anyone would call me a Honky or a Cracker or calls me a dickhead a loser a nerd or whatever.... I just don't see how someone can be offended by saying man your so gay.... Every gay person Ive known never got offended when I used gay in those ways.
Its like that whole Jay Leno gay joke thing he had to apologize? A lot of gay people just must complain a lot or have no sense of humor cuz I don't see Jay having to apologize to any other joke hes done. . I guess not everyone is blessed to have the sense of humor that I have. Its great to think that so many things are funny, It means I get to laugh a lot more.
What he said .....
Only school kids use that 'you're so gay' phrase anymore. IMO, it's about as offensive as saying 'you're a big poopoo-head'.

when some ppl make a lame tactic many time say: "that was gay"
