      to be clear, the wiki page you explicitly linked literally say it has a historical connotation, and the primary example it lists is from checks notes 53 years ago.

      I’m going to hazard a guess that the sentiment has probably changed, a little bit. Since 1972. 1972 to be clear, was 8 years after the passing of the civil rights act. It’s a bit of a different time period now.

      anyway point is, i’m not convinced anybody cares about using this as a homophobic slur anymore.

      Sorry for the short temper, this thread has been too long and I already explained this on another comment.

      it’s whatever, that’s how the internet is lol. This thread has been more than amusing for me thus far.
