Am I the only one that sees gay, queer, and faggot as their original usage? 'Happy,' 'odd,' and 'bundle' respectively. Why does the "gay" community even still associate themselves with the word?
I've always seen the evolution of the slur "gay" in mirrored with words like "badass" that have the opposite meaning of their origin because apparently being ironic is "cool." In other words most people I've heard use it have never meant it as a slight toward homosexuals.
There will always be slurs, I don't get what all the fuss is about.
