Just get the facts right. I have indeed asked folks not to use God in profanity and it goes back to the original point....it was to clean up the board. This board was riddled with harsh profanity during that time. Like the f-word, there is no use of that combination that is socially acceptable. It is universally accepted as profanity. The word "gay" is hardly the same.

If you are offended by the phrase "That is gay" when someone is pointing out something is weird, odd etc that is one thing. I hardly see where it is offensive to gay people because it is not IMHO. BUT, it hardly equates to profanity. And the intent issue is completely and conveniently being overlooked to further an agenda.
