Opinions please

The purpose was to get views from you guys as to whether or not the term "gay" was derogatory or offensive in the context of the comment.
I was trying to see if anybody did without making the suggestion

I suspect that if you asked any motorbike courier if he wore longjohns under his kit in the middle of winter because he was gay, you'd probably get a clump!

I think among friends, gay or not, but in person, it's fine.
Posting it on a forum etc always opens ones self up to it being misconstrued. Sometimes by prudes, sometimes by agitators. It's become a bit of a minefield tbh.
As much as I disagree with things like homophobia, I also struggle with the perpetual politically correct crew who must be 'right '

That's my point exactly

If somebody was genuinely offended that would be very different to being told they should be offended by a third party, or that third party being offended on their behalf

And if that motorbike courier was gay, the clump would hurt just as much. Gay men and women are perfectly able to fight their own battles

It's all part of a massive plot by the Illuminati, Rothschilds, Big Pharma and the Royal Family to turn us into snowflakes via our smartphones. Obvs.
