Why is this phrase blocked?!
There was a REALLY toxic fuse on my team, I got called the f word (the slur, not the swear) I replied with “Why do u hate gays??” And it came out as “why do you hate ******” gay is not a swear word,...

I appreciate the responses 🙂 they have great advice, and speak truths, but unfortunately that was not quite my point. They’ve blocked the word gay. I’m not a fan of them doing so, last I checked they haven’t blocked straight, or any of the others. All words can be used to belittle and marginalize, but we don’t block them all, becase without more words around it, they mean nothing bad. Only words that are bad in and out of a sentence should be banned, but gay is not one of those.
Forgiveness of course, but never forget.

@BigMacAttack8u Gay is used as an insult and straight isn’t.
Don’t really see how you could insult someone with beeing straight. On the other hand you can offend many people with calling them gay. Plus we have people that use gay as an insult…
Just how it is

- @matzesingt Being gay is not an insult, and should not be taken as one unless you are accused of it in a country where you could die for it.
- @BigMacAttack8u While I agree that it isn’t, that doesn’t solve that others take and use it as an insult
