I relate to it this way, if someone said "I rob houses for a living" and everyone in the thread started shouting "BLACK!", "How Black of you" or other words that are descriptive of race but derogatory, that wouldn't be out of order no? If a black person were to see that they would be offended.
Have some PSA's from America on the issue.

Sure, call the OP Vein or wimpy, but gay? As I said, most gay people are gay and you wouldn't know it, just because you see the loud and proud queer queens running around flaunting it doesn't mean they are the majority, they are just the noisy ones who are visible, the average gay man is indistinguishable from a straight one, the prissy queen is a very negative stereotype.
In the Anglosphere, this connotation, among younger generations of speakers, has a derisive meaning equivalent to rubbish or stupid (as in "That's so gay."). In this use the word does not mean "homosexual", so that it can be used, for example, of an inanimate object or abstract concept of which one disapproves, but the extent to which it still retains connotations of homosexuality has been debated.
To be fair, its not as if it is unique to OcUK, society as a whole seems to have no problem with it, im guessing in 100 years or so it wont be so prevalent and acceptable, just thought I should at least say something instead of ignoring it this time seen as it was quite prevalent in this thread.
Sorry OP, I cannot help you with your product of choice, maybe try a more... body concious forum?

His gay what?I've came late to this thread but i'm impelled to say:
Sorry pal you are firmly entrenched in "oohhhhh, Chase me!" territory there, Wrights Coal Tar soap or nothing, that's what men use![]()
Hurfdurf, stop being so bloody over sensitive and PC. The meaning of the term 'gay' is constantly changing. Get over it.
So very, very cringeworthy.
Go watch an episode of South Park called "The F Word", then you'll see why nobody apart from you gives a toss![]()
An episode of South Park, the bench mark of social commentary![]()
