Would you be offended if i were to call someone gay or homosexual as and insult?
Im not trying to be funny im serious

It is EXTREMELY offensive, immature, ignorant and socially inappropriate as it uses the word in a negative context. It's like saying, "That's SO retarded!" People who happen to be born with a mental retardation cannot help it, and don't deserve to be referenced in such a way. It's no different for a gay person! Choose another more appropriate way to express yourself, rather than using the word "gay" in a harmful manner.

If you were to do it often, it would get annoying and I might say something. Different people have different tolerances for that use of the word. It would be a good idea to try and work on stopping doing that. If the dude does get offended, apologize and say that you're working on changing that habit.

I wouldn't be offended. I would just feel sorry for you inferior intellect. In a world where we have so many words, why would you stop at the letter g?
Do society a favor and get yourself a thesaurus, they print them in paperback too.

If you have to start a question "Would you be offended it...", you probably know there is a chance that you'll offend someone, so it's best not to say it. That fact that you find "gay" to be a negative is offensive. So, yes, I would be offended and would recommend you find a different way of expressing yourself.

No. It's a compliment. If something's 'gay', that means it was good enough to piss someone off.

I'm very gay, and I say that aaalll the time. No worries, as long as you're for same-sex marriage, it's all good. I hope you are.
