Re: Meaning of \'gay\'
[ QUOTE ]
whatever the BBC says, it is a derogatory term derived from homosexual, although i agree that was subverted originally also.

I don't think it is derogatory at all. I say "Yeah, I'm gay." or "I think he is gay." But I have used it in the derogatory sense as well saying "That is so damn gay!" or refering to super-sissy-drama-enriched-twinkies-queers, "If I ever act that [censored] gay, please slap me in the face with the King James Bible and bring me back to my senses"
But I also have been know to use the term "Breeders" to refer to heteros and in a derogatory manner.
As in "God I wish that woman would shut that kid the hell up. [censored] breeders!" or "That guy is cute but check out the ring, he is a breeder."
So I guess it is only fair that we have words for heterosexuals as well.
