+127 Insulting people by calling them gay is highly idiotic. People don't choose to be gay the same way they don't choose their race. I mean you don't go around saying, "Oh look at you in those Toms, you look so black". amirite?

You don't say that because blacks don't wear TOMS. Duh.

People don't choose to be ugly or stupid either, but that doesn't mean it's not insulting.

I don't know, Toms are pretty white.

Lucky, I got punched in the face for it, and got called a faggot, by a 30 year old, I WAS ONLY 14, so yep I plan on moving far away from this hillbilly hell

Yeaaa I've been called a faggot many times as well. Was never hit by a 30 year old. That's rough. I was by other people but that had nothing to do with sexuality....I think. I never really took the time to ask. Where do you live? (If you don't mind me asking.)

I live in that area between Pittsburgh and Philly PA that our state tries to keep a secret, the major demographic is conservative white businessmen who have millions, yet read at a 4th grade level, hard working businessmen, farmers, and of course, the trailer trash. But yeah I actually was 6'2 a year ago at 14, I got to 6'5 but I still will not bring it up, in fear of the giant brutes haha:p

Reminds me of a joke I heard one time. What do you call the area between pittsburgh and Philadelphia? Alabama

not to be stereotypical but a lot of times gay guys wear toms so telling someone they look gay could just be an observation, whereas you don't usually see black guys wearing toms...

Some people would say something like that for the shock value.

You don't chose to be tall, or pimply, or short, or ugly, or stupid either so why single out gay? I'm getting tired of the "Defend all the gay people" trend.

But people do say things like that. And you're no better by calling people idiotic as an insult. Did you know that "idiot" used to be a medical term for people with mental disabilities?

Just stop. Everyone needs to quit getting so touchy about the word gay. I understand how 'faggot' sounds rude, it does, but gay originally meant happy and people just ended up using that term for the homosexuals. If we say you look homosexual in those TOMS, then be all like 'we take offense to that' but gay, just like idiotic and retarded, are just being used for fun. People use homosexual, mentally challenged and ignorant civilly; know the difference.
