Eh.. I don't really want to be told how I should use my language. So what if it offends gay people! Anyone can choose to be offended by any term.
Also, not everyone has fully accepted gay people yet. I, for one, am still debating on whether a person is or chooses to be gay, whether it is even a healthy lifestyle, whether it is morally wrong or not...
I do not need to be told by a few Anandtech moderators that I must accept a certain lifestyle that according to many peoples' religions is morally wrong. I don't fully agree with the statement "There is nothing wrong with being gay." The vocal minority should not outweigh the majority. Avoiding tyranny of the majority does not mean tyranny of the minority.
I would like to think that my conservative views will not get me banned from the forums. Though I don't respect most gay peoples' lifestyles, I still respect them as people.
I'm just sick of seeing people posting things like "The Bible is evil", which offend me, but then the same people expecting people to be banned for opinions against homosexuality because they supposedly offend homosexuals. Now, I can't exactly treat the forums like they are free, but there needs to be limits. Everyone is entitled to their opinions!
PM me if you have a response - I probby won't keep up with this thread.
