When was the last time the country got outraged over a gay bashing incident?

Gay people don't count because trans people are more oppressed. Big logic.

2. Who is we? I acknowledged it from the beginning. But I don't have to cater to your preferences so let's agree to disagree about what I'm allowed to say as a fully formed adult with a different life experience than you on a public forum. I know that word is very offensive to you, so I will never use it toward you or when engaged with you directly. That's simple. But I'm not going to make any kind of commitment that you will never see me say it again on the boards because clearly there are a lot of different ways to feel about a word and apparently there are regional/cultural responses to it as well. But like omg you guys the world is ending lol ****ing relax |

If we're talking about the geographical extent of discrimination and abuse, not all black people were enslaved and not all countries had black slavery, as opposed to homosexuals which were by and large discriminated against and abused in most of the world (and continue to this day, including most of Africa). If we're talking about the substance of the discrimination, black slaves were considered things, and thus valuable, they were not persecuted and exterminated for being black, unlike homosexuals who were considered less than things, an "abomination" and therefore not even worth existing. We can also compare how many people are getting killed worldwide today for their race as opposed to their sexuality etc etc. Is it the same? No. Is it comparable? In my opinion, very much yes. But I would say even more importantly, which is something Lucem alluded to, is how something is perceived within a specific community towards which a certiain insult is aimed. The vast majority of gay men consider the f-word hurtful and very insulting. That should be enough for its discontinued use. If you have a minimum of empathy that is.

Regardless of which, there should be clear rules set out on the forum and people who have higher standards of civility than you should enforce them.
