As for the PM, Just so you know, it was discussed among the moderators BEFORE you were sent the PM.

One can say that they are gay or he/she is gay with it describing them in an arbitrary fashion (young/old, white/hispanic, gay/straight). If you use it to describe an extreme (negative connotation in this case), it is perceived as derogatory. If you would have used the term "wawazat??" instead of "gay" to describe your dislike of what the picture showed, you're point would been understood just as well

Thinking about the term "straight", does that presume that gay is "crooked" or "bent". I guess "straight" could be offensive too...

Damn this P.C. stuff is tricky.
