I don't think that a poll on an Internet forum is even sentient, let alone would they have any kind of sexual preference

Well, me and Strangers VS Young Guns had a fling once. But it was a long time ago!

I know nothing about their sexual orientation - though if you consider a poll - nah, nevermind

My thoughts exactly. How long is it gonna take for the word "gay" to stop being used as a negative term or insult

And, no what's wrong with finding out the majority opinion, then waiting to see if it's changed over a few years?

I don't have a problem with posting polls but it was frigging overkill to come here and find so many at once.

Especially when, as Dawn pointed out, the original usage meant 'happy'.

I always look on it as being akin to the word "bastard", i.e. when you use it you're not actually implying that someone was born illegitimately
