Default ATTN: Homophobes

Gay is not a degratory term, its just a sexualality and a slang term for the word homosexual, why do we have gay censored but not homosexual? To be fair if gay is censored then straight should also be censored. Therefore i think gay should be un-censored for its not an insult, its a sexuality and nothing more, but you can remain politically incorrect and offensive towards homosexual and make it look like your homophobic.




Damn, i give a compelling arguement.
Other reasons are Marvin Gaye gets starred out which is annoying and gay just doesn't need to be censored.

It beats me why any words are censored at all.
As for the word gay I agree with you entirely A***ison***e.
A word should only be censored if it causes offence and as gay people refer to themselves as being gay, then the fact that it's censored would offend people that are gay.

Not that I am.

But.

People use *** as an insult more.

I mean half of the people on the banned users list have names like "EMOIS***".
