I usually don't get offended because i feel more awkward to be around someone who is past age 15 and still says things like that.. its just a stupid thing to say considering there are so many other ways to phrase things.
Id argue thats gay is worse thsn the n word. One seeks to take a persons sexual orientation and makes it bad. The other takes a bad word and tries to turn it into something good.
Im black but I get more offended when people use terms like thats gay. Depending upon my mood that day ill challenge them on it or not.
People used to say that all the time when I was in school. Now it's like people have switched to using the F word instead. "Dude you're a ****ing ******" seems to be very popular.
