It's the least that can happen after years of being oppressed by it imo. No. I'm sorry that's not how language evolves. Otherwise GAY would still be used in a derogatory fashion but the community fought hard to get rid of that bad stigma the word had.

Other groups have chosen differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 96,093 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Just now, Tadeo said: đđđ Ok? And on your example of "gay" I still hear it used as an insult often. Describing something as "gay" in a negative fashion. Black people have dealt with the N word differently, but I don't think we can eliminate the use of insults nor dictate entire groups on how they deal with them. It is an interesting topic though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
