Why is "gay" such taboo (in some circles)? You can claim to be perfectly comfortable talking about sexuality and the like, then turn right around and get defensive--I said the word "gay" but I'm not bashing!!! Honest!! No one would've assumed you were gay-bashing, so don't worry. It's just... why is it such a touchy topic in the first place? Some people are straight. Some people are gay. Some people are bi. Some people hate everyone.
Hopefully the end of gay discrimination and this touchiness will end soon, and I mean on a nationwide scale. Then that'll be black people, women, gay people... who's next? Well, obviously, there are still racists, still sexists, and there'll always be homophobes--but when will homophobia become frowned upon by the majority, I wonder...
