I've seen a few sexist posts but nowt else.
*sigh* The old old old old point about the use of the word gay is still being made.
A lot of words have a variety of meanings.
New meanings for words develop over time.
It all comes down to intent.
If one intends to use the word in a derogatory way at a football match then they risk getting into trouble.
I don't really give a shit, as neither offend me, but if you're offended by one then you should be offended by both, otherwise you're using selective internet offence-taken-victimhoodnoia.
