I don't get why people argue when we say "don't use gay like that, it's an insult"
I mean... why? Why argue? Why do it? Is it THAT hard to find a new word? Is it that hard to stop using it? Is it such an imposition? Are they so invested in using the word that they simply must argue with us over it?
I can't even begin to address that NYC case, ye gods I cannot
