I think you are completely missing the point... Go and talk to your brothers about why "gayist" might sound degoratory. And then they might point out something about having to put up with degoratory comments.
Or you could appologise, learn, and move on.

They don't care in the slightest, and neither do any other 'homosexuals' that I know. Different people are obviously offended by different things. I actualy picked the word 'gayer' up from my little brother who refers to himself and 'special friends' as such.

jæd said:So it would be ok to call Geordi a ni**er because I've got some "specially coloured friends" who call each other that.
Still waiting for that apology...
No of course not, but thats becuase they don't find me saying 'gayer' offencive whereas the N word is offencive to many. OK so you obviously as an individulal have a problem with it, but i think you are being a bit of a knob.
Don't hold doors open for women, they might consider it sexest!
Mind you I do start crying and feel all hurty inside when they do the finger quotes and tell me I'm 'so hetro'.

He wasn't openly gay til last month. There goes that theoryATOMIC SUPLEX said:
and on the "gayer" thing...
If it's not an accepted derogatory term (which I don't think it is) and isn't used with apparently derogatory intent (which I don't think it was) than I really don't see the problem

But not in a gay way you understand.
Mind you I'm sure sulu came out 'in public' last year I'm sure, but didn't he say most of the cast and crew knew while he was filming 'the trek'.

Right... So we can only be offended by what everyone-else terms as offensive... Personally if offend someone then I say sorry and don't do it again...
Whatever.

- I had no idea you'e gay.
It seemed to me you were offended on other people's behalf. - In my opinion the only people to determine that "gayer" is offensive is the gay community.
- We've heard from the person using the term that he learnt it from gay men with whom he's friends and who are perfectly comfortable with it.
- You know otherwise - it is offensive.
- You haven't heard it before but you find it offensive.
- It's OK for queens to say but not breeders.
- Or...? Please enlighten us.

Not so sure either why jæd got quite so offended. So far the only person I ever heard use the term is my boyfriend.
I suppose anybody who uses slang used by or aimed at a minority they aren't part of is on dangerous ground. On the other hand within context it was clear to me that ATOMIC hadn't used it in a derogatory way. At worst it was a failed attempt at being hip.

During the shooting of Voyager Garrett Wang once suggested that they introduce a Chinese character in the name of reconciliation (this was during the spy plane incident a few years back). The writers gave him a funny look and said that he was a Chinese character. This was news to Wang who'd been playing 'Harry Kim' as a Korean for several years now, quite understandably.

What the fracK (is that a ST thing?) He was playing kim as Korean???? What made him think that he should play as a Korean? Was it that he just assumed as he was an oriental in star trek he should play someting different as is the tradition it seems?

Stigmata said:I think he thought Kim= Korean. AFAIK it's not a Chinese name is it?
Ahhh I see. I'm not up on my Korean names as a friend of mine (who as taken an intrest in 'only' Korean ladies lately) has been pointing out.
This has I think been triggered by Grace Park.
Oh yeah - Kim Ki duk etc.
